I've had the privilege over the last 40+ years to work in some of the best companies in the business. for last 28 or so years focusing on theatrical motion design. Over the years i've been asked to lead many design departments. Recently I've been asked to help build the in house motion graphic department at Walt Disney Studios, called The Hive. With the help of my partner Soh, we have been blessed to be involved in many complete campaigns. That's creating all motion graphics for all vendors on big films Like Avatar Fire and Ash, Avatar The Way of Water, The Mandalorian & Grogru, and Star Wars the Rise of Skywalker, to name a few. in 2022 I was asked to lead the redesign of the Disney castle reveal. ILM took my work and created the vfx and really brought it to life. currently you can see this animation at the beginning of every Disney or Pixar film. it's been quite an honor to be apart of this. it seems lately I can't wait to get to work to see what amazing project we get to work on.
I've been doing lots of Editorial and Motion design for many brands including many entertainment studios. working primarily in Adobe Premire, Afftereffects and Cinema 4d
