Nice to meet you! I'm an award-winning art director and motion designer based in Minneapolis with a background in illustration and graphic design. I specialize in designing & expanding brands for commercial, sales & educational videos as well as for web and social campaigns for a wide variety of audiences.
In my spare time, I design & develop comics, video games with my fiancé and friends (play here), play and write music, and am currently running an experimental long-form D&D Campaign.
Aside from storytelling, I love learning languages & new things (often diving deep into research & medical papers for fun), climbing, roller skating, gardening, knitting & crocheting.
