About me
motion, sound & crafting experiences.
The first thing you should know about me is that I’m a super nice guy™ With 20 years of experience, I've been fortunate to learn from some of the most talented designers, engineers and animators, all while being entrusted with some of the world ’s most respected products, brands and entertainment properties. I thrive in highly collaborative groups, but am equally comfortable squirreling away and generating ideas. I’m passionate about learning, but have also enjoyed being an Adjunct Professor at the Art Center College of Design. As a musician, I have a particular respect for the power of music, sonic experiences and the powerful marriage of design, motion and sound.
