Here Are a Few Very Cool Projects I've Worked On
Power Awards Gala 2023
An intro video made for Power Home Remodeling's Annual Award Gala that opened the main ceremony. Entirely made in 3D showcasing "macro" shots of internal clock gears.
Herr's Mix Mystery Flavor
Hired by an agency to create this fun 2D spot for Herr's kicking off their Mystery Flavor Contest. I photographed every element but the provided bag packaging and gave it a stop-motion paper animation look.
La Colombe Summer Haze
I created this spec to play with particles and particle manipulation. By using photo-realistic assets, I created a very nice kitchen and countertop. I also created the packaging by hand and by scanning the label and animating the elements of the label itself.
Power Ryder Cup
Power Home Remodeling hosts their own version of Ryder Cup Tournament every couple years. We wanted to create a fun and engaging sports loop that can be reused and built on with just a year change.

Collaboration
Is Important to Me
Networking is one of my strong suits and I am always able to find work and also help find work for many artists. I am part of a few groups that deal with animation, tech, and innovation. Some notable groups are...
Philanimators is a Philadelphia-based animation group of artists that showcase and share work they are working on. This has been a great resource in building skill sets together and also showcasing workflows.
Philly Geek Awards
In 2012, I was approached by the creative director of this organization to create animations for their award show. After much success the organization gained, I was invited to the committee and remained there until 2015. In 2017, they asked me to come back as creative director.
Oh Right! What Exactly Is My Skill Set? That Seems Important!
