Hello, and thank you for visiting my LinkedIn profile. I am a seasoned Senior Art Director specializing in motion, design, and interactive experiences. In my most recent role as Design Director for Interactive at a Web3 company, I oversaw the creative and technical direction for multiple Unreal video games and touch designer installs, while being the lead developer and artist on the projects. I specialize in R&D and conceptualizing new project types while building and leading a team. Prior to this, I served as the Art Director of VFX and animation for graphics at Masterclass, where I played a key role in shaping the visual narrative. My journey includes being a Lead Animator and Technical Director for Facebook Video Productions, contributing to projects both in New York and Los Angeles.My expertise extends to gaming for Facebook Gaming, Unreal, and Unity experiences, along with proficiency in full-body and facial motion capture, studio building, technical directing, and establishing render farms for 3D projects. On the artistic front, I bring a wealth of experience in deck building, crafting style guides, and delivering compelling pitches to internal teams and external partners.Throughout my career, I've directed voiceover actors, led and trained art teams, and contributed to feature films by making quick art and graphics changes on set. Notably, I was part of a dedicated team that worked tirelessly on a piece for Propublica, earning the Pulitzer for feature writing.My commitment goes beyond creative direction—I strive to be a dedicated and imaginative contributor to any team, making it a personal goal to support the growth of the artists I oversee. From my early days with a degree in animation to my current role, each step in my career has been a deliberate move towards incorporating interactive media and gaming into my projects. I am excited about the prospect of contributing to innovative and dynamic teams, bringing my unique blend of artistic vision and gaming expertise to the table. Let's connect and explore how we can create something extraordinary together.
