I received a BFA from Carnegie Mellon, and shortly thereafter, moved to New York to begin my career in film, design & advertising by founding the production company, Panoptic - which I ran for 14 years. In 2011, I partnered with Tim Case to open The Office of Development & Design (ODD). We've been fortunate enough to collaborate on projects that have taken home Academy Awards, Cannes Lions, multiple Clios, Webby's & most recently an Emmy Nomination. As a Director & Creative Director, I have the unique ability to see, understand & execute every aspect of production & post production from concept to completion and everything in-between. Some highlights include designing the entire graphic package and creative directing all animations in the Academy Award® Winning Documentary "ICARUS" [Netflix’s 1st Academy Award for a Feature Length film], Taylor Swift's Lyric Video for "Look What You Made Me Do" [150+ million views], and advertising campaigns for Budweiser’s “Brought Home The Bud” with Wieden+ Kennedy – which won Titanium at the 2023 Cannes Lions Festival, promos for the Pepsi Halftime Show as seen on Super Bowl LVI [2022] and Budweiser “The Language of Baseball” for Major League Baseball’s 2022 All Star Game. Our work has also been seen in multiple Academy Award Nominated films (“Waste Land”, “The Tsunami & The Cherry Blossom”, “Icarus”) at the Sundance Film Festival (“Blackfish”), SXSW (“TransMilitary”), on Motionographer, Creativity, Stash, at movie theaters around the world and your TV screen at home.Clients include: Apple TV+, Wieden+Kennedy, Direct Focus, BBDO, FCB, TBWA\Chiat\Day, Martin, Anomaly, Motive, VaynerMedia, Mischief, HAVAS, Facebook, Ogilvy, Saatchi & Saatchi, Grey, McGarry Bowen, R/GA, Wunderman Thompson, GTB, McCann, GSD&M, Barkley, Doner, Digitas, Razorfish, Merkley+Partners, Leo Burnett - among others.Brands include: Pepsi, Bud Light, Adidas, McDonald’s, Mountain Dew, Savage X Fenty, Amazon, Bubly, Mercedes, Google, Spectrum, GE, Burger King, HP, Louis Vuitton, Samsung, IBM, Carl's Jr., CISCO, ExxonMobil, Honeywell, Budweiser, Marriott, UPS, Ford, Jeep, Chrysler, Disney, Dell, KPMG, ConEdison & Pfizer - to name a few.
