ABOUT MY BUSINESS
I am an Art Director and Senior Motion Designer based in Los Angeles with over a decade of experience bridging the gap between complex ideas and clear, impactful visual communication. I specialize in architecting visual languages and motion design templates for lifestyle and editorial brands, children’s entertainment, and mission-driven non-profits. My creative practice is rooted in illustration and motion design.
HOW I PARTNER
Creative excellence starts with a big-picture-first approach. Whether I’m operating as an Art Director on a monthly retainer or leading a 6-month production cycle, my focus is on building sustainable creative partnerships. I handle the heavy lifting of production, from initial strategy to final animation, so that you can focus on your mission.
THE PROCESS
I lead with listening. Every project begins with a deep-dive consultation where you have the floor. Tell me your vision, your roadblocks, and your North Star. I will then translate your vision into a clear creative structure, starting with mood boards, and a production timeline. By cutting through the noise and building a solid foundation first, I can ensure that the final output isn't just beautiful, but effective for your business.
