Since middle school, I've been interested in computer graphics and design. Whether I was creating animated gifs for my AIM buddy icon, making assets in Paint Shop Pro 4.12 for my friend's video games, or recreating scenes from The Matrix in Anim8or, I knew I wanted to continue doing these types of things more than anything else.
I graduated from The Art Institute of Portland with a B.F.A. in Visual Effects and Motion Graphics. I'm now a motion architect at XBOX, leading motion design for next-gen gaming experiences. In my free time, I design both video games and tabletop games, and have completed and shipped multiple titles.
My past experience spans 2D / 3D animation, compositing, mobile design / prototyping, and interaction design. I've had the privilege to work with some great companies, including Microsoft, Citizen (now EY Design Studio), Wongdoody, Very True Story, World Famous, Mode Adjust, Juliet Zulu, and Sockeye. I've been fortunate enough to work on projects for Google, Amazon, Nike, Adidas, Intel, Adobe, AT&T, T-Mobile, Cigna, ADP, and Hitachi.
When I'm not working, I like to travel around the world with my wife Yuchia and record an unnecessary amount of 4k video.
