What I Do
Art Direction
Whether working with existing branding or creating a new identity, I work with clients to make sure their messaging comes across strong, modern, and functional. From static brand marks to typography sets and guidelines, I understand the consistency required to create and/or maintain a brand’s unique voice.
Motion Design
I specialize in story telling through motion, layout, typography, and pacing. With a focus on tempo, balance, and emotion, I make things move in a way that says what needs to be said without ever getting boring. I love creating toolkits and templates to empower my teams and help others learn new tricks.
Music Composition
From simple sound design that brings an animation or video edit to life, to full cinematic music scores, or custom backing tracks inspired by real music, I specialize in telling stories through sound. As a touring musician myself, I have a deep knowledge of the tools and tricks to use audio in unique ways within video content.
