finding the bold truth hidden in the brief
Motion Design Director located in the Bay Area with twelve years across brand, experiential and product. Most of my work happens before anything even moves. Whether I'm reading the room and listening to what a team actually wants or pushing the idea until it's braver than the brief, I pride myself on understanding the deeper meaning underlying the work.
AI is a major tool in my toolkit that I use everyday. It clears the busy work buying back more time for the human element: taste, judement and the last 10% that take something from good to great.

A motion design library I’m training to understand taste. It builds a working lexicon of creative intent and workflow: why one move feels premium and another feels cheap, and what a note like “make it pop” actually means. It learns two ways, from publicly available projects paired with notes and straight from the data inside After Effects projects. Scattered client feedback becomes a structured library of what lands and what doesn’t, and it feeds directly into Vibe Effects, so every lesson becomes something I can act on.
