3D Animation  ·  Graphic Design  ·  Digital Media

Art Institute–trained media artist. Two years producing architectural animation in Autodesk 3ds Max for a commercial architecture firm, and the fifteen years since working independently and with advertising agencies — 3D brand ambassador characters, 2D character rigs built in Adobe Character Animator for influencer channels, motion graphics, music video work, practical puppetry and stop-motion, plus photo restoration and product design. I model, rig, light, render and cut the finished file.
