I'm a graphic designer, animator and art director that creates story driven visuals for a range of clients in news media, advertising and broadcast in both New York City and Los Angeles.
Recently, I was an art director at CNNMoney. Before that, a designer and lead animator at The Guardian. I also worked at The Daily, an
iPad-only news app.
I feel honored to have worked with a team of talented individuals on projects that have been recognized by numerous awards, including a Pulitzer Prize for the NSA story.
I studied at California Institute of the Arts and earned a BFA in Graphic Design. I'm lucky that I still love what I do. I also like to draw and do printmaking.
I live with my lovely wife, who used to work as a mechanical engineer, then turned professional chef and is currently studying to be a Registered Dietitian.
