I am an animator / motion graphics designer looking to work with a large established studio. I have contracted commercial animation and interactive design work with many companies in the Dallas and St Louis area. Nationally, I have created multiple casino games for special events promotions and core product gaming.

I offer over 10 years of animation and design experience in interactive and broadcast development. As well, I am a seasoned storyboard artist and illustrator, with a long academic experience as of a traditional artist. I am detail oriented but always respect the budget and timeline of a project.

I have won several animation awards in the gaming industry during my time at Take2 interactive, and hope to achieve more outstanding work in the future. Additionally, I also work with HD aerial video systems, and RC engineered camera stabilization systems
