I'm an animator/illustrator/motion designer in Portland Oregon. I've worked on film, TV, video, marketing, education and nonprofit projects for clients including Amazon Studios, Netflix, Warner Bros., NASA, LA LGBT Center, Johns Hopkins University, Hasbro, Mattel, SeaWorld, Marine World, Charles Schwab and many more. The projects I've been involved with have ranged from large painted murals and backdrops to very tight and detailed digital art incorporating complex information, so I can work in many styles and approaches. I really enjoy creative collaborations and working with teams, but also equally enjoy working solo when that is called for. I think I'm easy to work with and good at communicating, as well as being able to direct to the specific parameters of clients and projects. Another strength is my ability to capture portrait likenesses in animated and still artworks, which I've developed on two Richard Linklater films and the TV series Undone. My skills include concepting, motion and graphic design, illustration, animation, audio and video, photography, projection design, portraiture and scriptwriting. I'm experienced in Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, Animate, Character Animator, also TV Paint, Corel Painter, Clip Studio, and Reaper. Nowadays I work remotely, because of Covid. But I've often worked remotely for years anyway, staying in sync is not a problem. --- **Employment and project experience** **Freelance design, animation and illustration** _July 2021 - Current_ **Senior Animator** Netflix Richard Linklater movie "Apollo 10 1/2" _September 2020 - July 2021_ **Senior Animator** Amazon Studios TV series "Undone" _September 2019 - July 2020_ **Contract eLearning Designer** Johns Hopkins University _January 2015 - May 2020_ **Contract animator/illustrator** LA LGBT Center _January 2016 - January 2018_
