I create polished video, motion graphics, and animated previs for national brands and entertainment productions.
What I'm looking for

At TKO Advertising, I edit national commercials, explainer videos, social campaigns, and website content for clients including the City of Austin, Lewis Barbecue, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and Raise Your Hand Texas.
I've developed animated shorts, cutscenes, and campaign work with CatFace and Element Animation, including Minecraft Live 2023 for Microsoft/Mojang. I finalize camera animation and frame composition for VFX and rendering.
