After more than 10 years in creative services, marketing, and communications, led by an insatiable interest in identity, culture, and community, I’ve leveraged a wide range of experiences to support creative services in strategy and client relations, pre-planning, production, team building, and professional development.
My background spans from agency and in-house to freelance, as a strategist, photographer, producer, video editor, and designer for web, graphics, and motion. I have been a certified commercial drone operator since 2017 and love capturing aerial photos. Currently, I focus on the intersection of web and motion design, exploring interactive design. I build engaging and interactive websites that tell stories with honesty and empathy.
I love working in 3D animation/motion design environments and studying how physics affects aesthetics to create photorealistic computer graphics. Blender 3D is my favorite artistic platform, not just because of the limitless creative flexibility built into the program, but also the incredibly supportive community of users who want to create inspiring art.
I love participating in communities that support and uplift one another, and do what I can to give back to the artist community by mentoring young creatives through a variety of platforms, including Discord creative communities such as Nice Moves MN, a motion design network for Minnesota, and ADPList.org which focuses on interactive design and web design across the world.
Reach out to me if you want to chat about a project you have in mind! I love to converse about art and creativity with people from all walks of life- there is so much we can learn from one another!
