I’ve led multidisciplinary teams, from design and animation to live action and editorial. My approach centers on defining and evolving the creative process: using what’s proven, exploring what’s new, and adapting to the tools that move our craft forward.

Past roles include: Head of Design, Head of Studio, Creative Manager, Art/Associate/Creative Director

Executives, marketing teams, product leads, and artists often come to the table with different priorities. That’s where I step in, serving as a creative translator.

I thrive on aligning diverse perspectives around a shared goal. It’s about understanding where each point of view comes from, then bridging the gap between business intent and creative expression.

My career began on the box, building a solid creative foundation by working across many roles. Those early years taught me the language of production, and I use it to guide teams from concept to final frame.

Roles I’ve played: Motion Designer, 3D Generalist, Editor, Compositor, Photographer, Stop Motion Animator, Live Action Director

Some of my most rewarding work happens behind the scenes: recruiting, mentoring, and coaching creative talent.

Over the years I’ve found that building a strong team is just as gratifying as building a great project, creating the conditions for others to succeed.

Whether I’m pitching a new campaign, presenting work in progress, or speaking at a conference, I focus on making real and meaningful connections…and the occasional dad joke to warm the room.

I started my career during a creative revolution, when desktop tools redefined what was possible and the boundaries between disciplines blurred. I feel that same shift happening again today, and it reminds me why I fell in love with this work in the first place.

The tools will keep changing, but the spirit of discovery feels familiar and I’m excited for what’s next.
