Design + Art Direction + Branding

My design expertise is primarily in creating branded broadcast graphics packages from concept through production.

This includes logo design, brand guides, concept generation, style frame / storyboards, network re-brand pitches, information graphics and scoring systems, monitor graphics, and environmental 3D modeling and compositing.

I have art directed, designed and animated many of the top sports networks’ scoring systems that are on air today, most recently including the insert system for NFL on FOX.

As a senior animator at Drive Studio, I animated everything from logos to 2D scoring systems to compositing 3D scenes. I was also the lead editor for show opens, image spots and highlight reels.
