I’m a videographer-turned-photographer-turned-designer-turned-animator, and I’m hoping to add a few more by the time this is all over.

I like making things so much I do it after already spending the day making things. After putting the kids to bed, I offer my services as a freelance animator, editor, and graphic designer.
