| More detailed description down below |
After the first 5+ years of my career, I founded and co-owned an animation and vfx production company (Hectic Digital) for 7 years (before selling it to IVC) and directed several talented artists (many of which worked or ended up working at ILM, Weta, MPC, 2K, and many notable studios). I directed a team of 78 people on an animated short (Metro6) which was ranked within the top 100 in the entire world for year 2020. 18 year career. 12+ years of leadership experience.
Beyond animation, I've led interactive and experiential projects that merge physical and digital realms. Collaborating with UX/UI designers, technologists, and creative teams, I've developed immersive experiences that engage audiences and bring brand stories to life.
Every company has experienced a handful of projects that were more complicated than anticipated. I’m brought on projects that are generally more technical in nature than most Creative Directors from copywriting backgrounds would understand how to approach. My portfolio is very diverse, and I’ll work with you to come up with a game plan that works best for your project.
I use a combination of tried and true methods as well as create workflows around emerging tech to get big screen results at a fraction of the labor.
