2D Animation

I combine artistic creativity with technical skills to produce visually compelling animations for entertainment, marketing, and education. Using Adobe After Effects I compose illustrations, designs, videos, photos, & CGI. Other programs used during the process include Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator, Blender, and Cinema 4D.

Storyboards & Style-Frames

Storyboards serve as a communication tool, helping to convey your vision to others involved in the project. They don't need to be elaborate works of art; clarity and effective communication are the primary goals.

 

This is a full video boarded out with transitions. Most illustrations were provided. I designed each frame, added color, and thought about how each frame leads into the next to tell a cohesive story.

3D Animation

Need a cube not a square? I got you. Using Cinema 4D and more recently, Blender, I create individual elements or entire projects. Renders are sent to After Effects to add finishing touches.

Picking a freelancer is hard!

Even if someone showcases great work how do you know they will give your project the attention it deserves? I have 15+ years of experience and pride myself on making my clients happy. Schedule a meeting or send me an email so we put those fears to rest.

I’m a freelance motion designer from Norfolk, Virginia with extensive experience creating TV commercials, social media, web videos, graphics packages, and corporate videos. In my downtime I love hanging with my family, reading, gaming, and doing anything creative.
