designer/animator/maker

I’m a creative with nearly 20 years of experience turning ideas into awesome visuals. From doodles on napkins to 3D animations. Whether it’s print, digital, television, apparel, you name it... I’ve helped with small, local startups to household name brands where I always bring creativity and technical experience to the table with a love for the details.

shop-talk

I was born and raised in South Knoxville and still carry that laid-back, outdoorsy spirit. Married since 2011 and dad to two awesome kids, I’m always chasing adventure, from road trips to bike trails. Fall’s my season of choice, podcasts are my yard work fuel, and I’ve probably got one too many pairs of Vans slip-ons. Give me pizza or street tacos and, with my glass-half-full attitude, I’m good to go.
