I'm an animator and motion graphics artist working primarily in After Effects and Rive. My background spans two very different worlds: fast-turnaround automotive broadcast commercials, cut during my time as a video editor at an advertising agency, and interactive STEM case studies for e-learning, where the animation has to teach, not just look good.

The interactive work is where I've gone deepest. On our 34 STEM cases I designed and built easily 70% of the progression logic. That's on top of the artwork and animation contributions. Lately, most of my focus is on characters and interfaces built in Rive that react to the person on the other side of the screen.

Whether it's a thirty-second spot or a self-paced interactive lesson, I care about the same thing: motion that carries meaning, not just polish.
