Growing up in Brooklyn, I discovered my love for drawing as a way to connect with others and express my creativity.
Over the past 15 years, I have honed my skills in motion design, working across diverse mediums such as broadcast TV, promos, live events, documentaries, and news. Collaborating on documentaries has deepened my appreciation for the power of facts and evidence while wrapping the experience in a design package.
Work Experience
VICE Media
Collaborated closely with team members, including producers, music composers, copy editors, illustrators, other designers and animators, to create bespoke graphic design and motion graphics for nightly, weekly, and special documentaries, as well as branding for recurring news shows and special live events. Motion graphics included title sequences, labels, info-graphics, maps, explainers, etc.
