About

Making motion
that means
something.

15 years directing motion for some of the world’s most recognized brands, from freelance animator to Head of Animation at Wieden+Kennedy Portland. Every project starts with one question: what do we want people to feel?

I understand the full ecosystem: how great work gets made, the technology behind it, how to build and mentor teams, and how to align creative, production, and clients to bring it to life. I lead with empathy, curiosity, and clarity.

I’m open to lead and director-level roles where animation is central to the storytelling, and where I can help teams do the best work of their careers.
