The full reel, work I both created hands-on and led creatively, across directing, editing, motion and sound design, and on-set production.
Watch the Full Demo Reel
A note on this reel: for a long time my demo reel only included work I created entirely on my own, from capture and recording through editing and graphics. As my career has moved into more senior and lead roles, I've started including projects where my impact was just as significant, but as creative lead or key stakeholder rather than sole executor. Every piece here represents real creative ownership, whether hands-on or directorial.
Motion graphics and animation spanning standalone projects and integrated campaign work — from personal identity pieces to franchise-level productions.

About me
Born and raised in Michigan, I moved to Washington in 2017—and haven't looked back.
I'm a storyteller at heart, driven by collaboration and a constant desire to learn from the people around me.
My career began at Grand Rapids Community College, producing video content before relocating to Seattle to join a VR startup. There, I had the opportunity to learn from industry veterans with backgrounds in Hollywood VFX—an experience that shaped both my creative and technical foundation.
After the company closed, I joined Mojang Studios, where I spent six years creating content for millions of players around the world.
I'm excited to bring that experience into what comes next.
