I am a Los Angeles–based artist specializing in visual effects and motion graphics with over 30 years of experience creating imagery for film, television, web, and print. Contact me
I hold a BFA in Film/Animation/Video from the Rhode Island School of Design. My professional story mostly began at R/Greenberg Associates (1995–1999), where I contributed to film titles, broadcast design, commercials, print, web, and interactive installations.
From 1999 to 2004, I worked as a freelance artist for leading design and post-production studios in New York City, including Eyeball, Pittard Sullivan, Trollbäck & Co., Psyop, and Razorfish. In 2004, I joined Click3X as Senior Design Director, where I led a design team and continued to expand my expertise in art direction, motion graphics, VFX, and print design.
In 2006, I relocated to Los Angeles to focus on the film industry, beginning with postvis work on Robert Schwentke’s RED. In 2009, I co-founded SaintsLA, a boutique post-production studio in downtown Los Angeles, where I gained hands-on experience managing a creative business. Since returning to freelance work in 2014, I have collaborated with major film studios and top design companies such as Logan, Prologue, Cantina, Mocean, and Ntropic, in addition to running my own home studio.
