What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I lead motion and brand-driven visual campaigns, collaborate cross-functionally, and improve production workflows for measurable engagement.

I am a motion designer and graphic designer with two decades of experience creating motion graphics, brand identities, and marketing assets for major clients and games. I collaborate closely with art directors, video editors, and producers to take projects from concept to final delivery and rapidly prototype compelling visual solutions.

My work spans high-profile clients such as Microsoft and Amazon and long-term roles leading motion design for Magic: The Gathering, where I revamped key art animation styles and developed templates and workflows that accelerated production. I have produced localized marketing ads across international markets and contributed to multi-year revenue growth through improved engagement.

I bring studio founding experience, production pipeline development, and a strong mix of technical tools and design sensibilities to teams seeking polished, brand-focused motion content. I prioritize cross-platform cohesion, efficiency, and creative problem-solving to deliver measurable results.
