OUTLOOK
To join or lead an efficient, organized,
and enthusiastic creative team, that are
passionate about the items produced.
Skills I’m looking to enhance are the
fields of motion graphics/animation, and
3D animation with Cinema4D.
If not designing, I’m playing drums, riding
motorcycles, or out with friends and
family. While I enjoy a wicked humor
streak, I of course know when to knuckle
down and get serious.
