About
I went to the Philadelphia Institute of Art for 3D animation and started my career before even graduating at an advertising agency in center city Philadelphia. There I started off conceptually sketching products and packaging as well as story boarding commercials, short films and print ad layouts. I taught myself
Cinema 4D and made my own position as there 3D designer. I was responsible for animation, graphic design, event booth designs, kiosks ,POP displays,
Illustration for ads....Etc. ALL big brand clients too. Mostly tobacco, liquor, clothing and sporting goods. Then I worked in NYC for a little over a year doing the same thing but with more motion graphics and video editing. After that I worked in north Jersey for a pharma company, pretty much strictly creating motion graphics and animations for event displays and video presentations. Then I freelanced (in house mostly), all over the tristate area for a few years, with quite a variety of clients requiring my skill-sets. Most recently I've been employed as an industrial designer, primarily designing in-store displays for electronics. I can take any idea from sketch to 3D printed prototype or production ready graphic or video with outstanding results in a very short time. -
