A little about me
My story started quietly — with a pencil and a stack of paper. That led me to ArtCenter, where I studied Illustration and fell into motion graphics. It stuck. I spent years freelancing across motion studios, ad agencies, trailer houses, and corporations, soaking up as much of the craft as I could. Today I'm a Storytelling Designer at Microsoft, using 2D, 3D, and animation to tell stories that connect. I care about the craft itself — not just how things look, but how they move, feel, and land.
When I'm Not Designing
you'll find me hunting down new restaurants and cuisines across LA, or at home perfecting a sous vide steak. I'm a simple coffee guy — mostly iced, made at home with beans I roast myself. I'm also weirdly into finding new ways to organize my space, and every once in a while I'll grab my camera and go shoot something just for fun.
