3D Animation · Graphic Design · Digital Media
Art Institute–trained media artist. I spent two years producing architectural animation in Autodesk 3ds Max for a commercial architecture firm, and the fifteen years since doing independent design work — photo restoration, character animation, advertising art, and product design. I take a project from the first sketch to the finished file, and I am comfortable talking to the client the whole way through.
