About me
I am a collaborative creative thinker specializing in video and motion graphics. While editing and animation are my bread and butter, what I really love to do solve creative problems. So when a great idea strikes, I do not let tools limit me. I find that learning new skills and collaborating with others can lead to stronger results and happier clients.
