Work Experience
Freelance / Consultant
Motion & Sound Designer, Video/Audio Editor
Going solo afforded me the opportunity to get hands-on with every phase of the production process, from initial concept to final output. And with the proliferation of digital signage, I’ve been able to explore trending techniques and deliver larger-than-4K animation via client work.
