You like my meat man intro? Check out my latest animation / motion graphic design reel 👀 I’m stoked to have worked with some amazing creative folks, many of them local Philly friends. Most of these shots were animated on an iMac that was way too old. Here’s to more exciting projects in 2024 and beyond ☀️🕶️

The “spinning disc” concept of the 2025 Making Time logo really stood out to me—the symbolism of time, infinity and transcendence all correlate to consistent motion. We are moving to a rhythm, in a cycle, and like the counter-clockwise movement in the turning back of the clock, we are making time for the infinite present moment. ♾️
Motion design and creative exploration for the @makingtimeisrad festival this year ♾️ with logos and original designs by @llannddau ♾️
I’m STILL transcending from the @makingtimeisrad festival at Fort Mifflin last weekend after looking at these videos of @luke_mele !! I’ve been a big fan of his show on NTS Live for a while, so when I found out we were performing together in the cave, I was floored! Also stoked to VJ for Philly local @calla_discs with the ambient set I needed in my life✌️
Thank you @davep_makingtime@klipcollective and @great_circles_grcr for having me in the cave AND for putting on an INSANE festival this year ♾️
And thank you to to my studio mate @jkubizne for support through this whole thing, from building a visual deck together to capturing footage and setup/breakdown.
Abstract motion composition #A. In this piece, I started by capturing visuals through my analog video effects rig, then mixed them together live through the computer, having audio parameters from the record playing affect the evolution and blending of the visuals. The record is “Journey in Satchidananda” by Alice Coltrane.
I had the pleasure of directing this playful production card for @byvoxcreative - @voxdotcom ’s in-house branded content studio. Featuring incredible cel animation and motion design by @arthurgwg and @bendigans ! 🎨 The design style was inspired by Vox’s iconic mixed-media animations. Animation-wise we used digital compositing as a base and brought in traditional hand-drawn animation to illustrate the waves of inspiration that flow between the teams⚡️As the camera pulls back, we reveal the many layers of what Vox does best: writing, filming, editing, animating, podcasting—you name it. 🎬🍿

Wanted to make space for this; I faced an immense loss in my life two years ago, and with the profound sadness inside of me, I took my sketchbooks to cafes and drew the faces of strangers obsessively. Watching them with careful eyes, the act of capturing emotion and expression on paper was catharsis. These faces were not just the faces of unfamiliar people, they were the people in me. I realized how universal humanity is; people are all thriving, suffering and longing in subtle ways. Through time, persistence and support, I crawled out of my own darkness, and after a year and a half and thousands of faces later, my obsession inevitably slowed down. I have never had such a prolific period of drawing like this in my life, and looking back, it’s amazing how the turbulence of life can galvanize the creation of art out of you.
