ABOUT ME

I’m a San Francisco Bay Area-based visual designer with 10+ years specializing in animation, motion graphics, and album art.

​

I’ve worked in desktop publishing, video production, and for 5+ years, I was a member of Mercedes Benz Research & Design’s first Advanced Graphics & Rendering team. There, I worked in one of the most secretive research departments in the auto industry, alongside a handful of employees including upper management and Board of Directors, who had access to our secured third-floor area on any given day.

​

I grew up in Washington, D.C. and studied Engineering at Howard University. I moved to San Francisco in the late '90s during the first Dot Com boom and never left. I now live in Oakland, California with my wife, daughter, and a dog who is part alien.
