Motion Director + Animation Consultant | Wieden+Kennedy Alum | Seeking Opportunities to Lead Teams + Craft Work that Moves

Motion Design Director | Animation Strategist | Team Builder Freelance Motion Lead & Consulting — building high-impact motion teams, driving innovation, and creating animation that invites participation. I'm a Motion Creative Director with 15+ years of experience leading animation across advertising, experiential, and emerging media. Formerly Head of Animation at Wieden+Kennedy Portland, I’ve built and led teams that create emotionally resonant high-impact motion work for some of the world’s most iconic brands, including Nike, DoorDash, Netflix, Lilly, Airbnb, HP, OMEN, SKIMS, Fisher-Price, and Instagram, just to name a few. My goal has always been the same: animation that not only tells a story—but evokes a response and inspires engagement. Today, I partner with groups as a freelance motion director, producer, and creative consultant—scaling motion capabilities by assembling trusted, top-tier animation teams and delivering strategic, forward-thinking creative. I empower teams to create the best work of their lives—sparking fulfillment, boosting company culture, and driving lasting client loyalty. I’m passionate about cultivating talent and fostering an environment where creativity thrives. Whether consulting on team structure, directing motion for a global campaign, or advising on pipeline innovation, I bring a leadership style that’s collaborative, empathetic, future-focused, and grounded in craft. By blending cutting-edge technology—like real-time engines, VR workflows, and AI-assisted tools—with deep creative experience, I help teams consistently produce work that is not only beautiful, but built to grow brands and communities. Currently open to freelance, part-time, or full-time creative opportunities.
