Hello! I’m A multifaceted artist, with 20 years of experience and a broad array of technical and creative skills.

I typically hate this kind of stuff. Like…look at all these skills I have! Wow aren’t I impressive?! It’s the worst. But here are things I know, and a few I don’t.

HERE ARE A FEW THINGS I UNDERSTAND

Story Telling.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my life boiling complex ideas down to simple messages, and I love to wrap those messages into relatable stories. I don’t mind one bit if that story expresses itself in the bones of a brand identity or in the way a character moves across the screen.

Design.

At a higher level, I look at it as taking the cerebral ideas of a story or a brand and pulling them into visual and physical existence. But sometimes we just need things that look cool as hell, then work backwards from there.

Motion.

Motion conveys so much information, and I don’t just mean in the infographic sense. I mean it in a totally general sense. How a thing moves says so much without actually having to saying anything. That’s why animation is so powerful, and why I’ve spent my life trying to understand it on a foundational level.

HERE ARE A FEW THINGS I’LL NEVER UNDErSTAND,

WHY DO DOGS LIKE HUMANS?

Seriously, I mean we give some serious belly rubs and food but we do these things for cats and cats hate our guts.

WHY DO I WRITE SO FREAKING SMALL?

It’s not like I was ever rewarded for it. I was actually emphatically asked throughout my life to write larger. And yet there it is to this day…my tiny almost illegible all caps scribble forever whisper yelling on the page.

IS MATT MERCER AN ALIEN?

Have you ever tried to run a DnD game? Can you imagine having to run one that engages millions of viewers and inspires one of the largest and most rabidly obsessed fan bases in the world? How does he keep it all going? Maybe because he’s just telling stories from his past alien life and its not anything made up at all.
