MY AWARD WINNING DESIGN IN A NUTSHELL

One of my major strengths is adaptability. I am able to jump easily from being a graphic designer, to an animator, to a film director, to production worker or management. This adaptability can also be seen in my work where I am able to handle any task I’m given, be it marketing, multimedia, animation, branding, or videography. I am obligated under Non-Disclosure contracts to not show many of my projects, however I have a few below that adequately showcase my abilities.

I am currently seeking a full-time design position with a progressive company specializing in marketing/branding/entertainment where a solid visual sense, positive nature, and “big picture” thinking would be of value. I am also available for freelance projects.
Digital Illustration
I am able to illustrate in many styles including, line art, simplistic, and realistic. Images are vector-based and scalable to fit any media for multimedia to publishing needs.
Character Design
Character design is an important factor in determining if your product is professional looking. Clean and visually appealing design is vital. I can create new characters or produce/refine existing characters based on model sheets. I also can serve as a consultant on any character design process.
Marketing Design
Videography and motion graphics produced for a children's workshop thirty second spot.
Promotional Design
A model was photographed on green screen, then enhanced in post, adding grime and branding to produce a life-size die cut stand-up promo piece.
Flash Animation
Flash animation for "My Very Own Adventure!" 
Motion Graphics
Animation produced for a thirty second commercial. 
Publishing Design
Graphic design for Quarry Books, including page and cover layout, and DVD design.
Marketing and Branding Design
Animation produced for online marketing.
Promotional/Logo Design
Full range of design from T-shirt graphics, corporate branding, to company logo, and event promotion.
Digital Photography
Photography including still life, portraits, and corporate products or events. I am proficient in digital photo manipulation, enhancement, and conservation as well.
Creative Development
Concept to reality build process of an interactive multimedia kiosk. The idea was to film customers on location in front of a green screen kiosk. The product would then render the actor(s) in a short animated or live action adventure, and burn a DVD for the customer to take home. Product delivery in less than 10 minutes.

I lead a team of five Graphic Designers, Programmers, and Animators, as well as oversaw offshore animation production. From concept, to development and design, and production, we achieved a working prototype in six months, with product expansion in the following six months. "My Very Own Adventure!" locations span from the U.S. to Malaysia, China, Canada, and the Middle East.
