The son of CPAs, I quickly realized that I wanted nothing to do with that world. I am a creative catalyst, an art director turned post production specialist. I also moonlight as a product designer. I have tons of experience doing animation, cgi, vfx compositing, and editing, and I have had the privilege to work with some major brands such as Apple, T-Mobile, Facebook, Yahoo, Visa, VW, Verizon, and with some extremely talented people from which I have learned a lot.
As for my industrial design projects, I signed licensing deals with two major US houseware brands to develop my products and expected to be earning hundreds of thousands in royalties by now, but Covid derailed everything. When the repo guy came for my Ferrari, I nearly cried. Still, there’s good news: my latest kitchen product just launched with Talisman Designs, a brand I truly admire. You can check it out here.
I also launched an After Effects script to help other mographers become more efficient with their animation.
When I'm not hard at work, I'm either nerding out with my 3D printers, playing the song of the week on loop for the hundredth time, driving my wife crazy, kayaking with my kids, who enjoy it a lot less than I do, or slowly going deaf on my Harley.
My tools of choice: After Effects, Cinema 4D, Redshift, Premiere Pro, Photoshop and Illustrator. I'm very knowledgeable with AE expressions, particle system generators like Particular and Form, and other tools such as RSMB and FrischLuft.
As you can see, my kids clearly take after their mom, thankfully.
