3D Animation and Rendering
I use tools including Cinema4D, Houdini, Modo, Substance Designer, Substance Painter daily. But I have been in other tools, including Maya, Blender, Unity, Sketchup etc…
I currently use Redshift as my primary render engine, but I have years of experience in VRay, Arnold and Octane.
Direction
I have directed dozens of projects across seemingly every field of design/marketing for some of the worlds biggest brands. From banner ads and decks to 3D product launches to concert animation graphics, posters, websites, social media posts, live-action production and editing. My hands are filthy with experience.
I am also keen to work with other Art Directors and Creative Directors in a variety of ways. I can provide ideas, I can execute others.
2D Animation
I have been using After Effects since before I was born. I also enjoy experimenting with cel-animation, and enjoy projects where I can work with illustrators and other talented animators.
I have done many2D projects, from simple typographic pieces to fully-illustrated animations. Please contact me for some to look at as many cannot be blasted all over the internet.
Production
The dirty work of a project requires focus. I am process-oriented and have a way of squeezing the most out of moderate budgets by sweeping away typical bottlenecks and waste. Everybody says this, not many people can actually do it. I have been in the trenches of pre and post-production for live-action, 2D and 3D animation, having worked with some of the worlds largest brands.
Inspiration
I enjoy working with and mentoring creatives in this industry. I believe in always pushing for a higher standard, yet allowing people around me to feel that they have stepped just far enough out their comfort zone to be exhilarated, not exhausted.
Growth
Okay, it’s corney. I don’t care. I got into this world of design because of the fact that I will never run out of new things to learn.
I constantly learn new things that I can bring to the table, from hard skills to soft skills, I am always trying to improve.
