✏️ Illustration

Illustration Services

Do you need an illustration for your next project? I can help. My styles range from realistic to cartoonish, and from rough to polished.

Graphic Novel

I created this entire 80-page graphic novel from start to finish on my own, using my creator-owned TREP characters.

🎥 Motion Graphics

Charge Inc.

I worked with a graphic designer to create the look and feel for this video, which was a brand reveal for Charge, Inc., using programs like Final Cut Pro and Motion.

SGC Catalyst Conference

Working with a graphic designer, I animated their storyboard designs using motion graphics techniques in CreateStudioPro. This video was displayed vertically in a repeated loop, without audio, on the wall of an event in Sacramento, CA.

Berkeley MIMS LinkedIn Ad

I animated this ad for Berkeley MIMS, specifically for a Linkedin advertisement. I worked with a graphic designer at an advertising agency to complete this project, bringing his designs to life using Apple Motion and Final Cut Pro.

CELP Facebook Ad

I created this Facebook video ad using Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Photoshop to convey the intended message by having text message bubbles pop up and animate over video clips for the California Employee Loan Program (CELP).

🎬 Video Editing

Polar Latitudes

I edited this video in Final Cut Pro to promote adventure cruises to Antarctica for Polar Latitudes by giving viewers a look at a day in the life onboard their ship.

I edited this video for Nordby Signature Homes using Final Cut Pro. The shots were filmed by drones of their Signature Homes.

🚀 Animation

Animated Feature Film Titles

Crescent Moon Films hired me to animate the opening credits of their romantic comedy feature film, Her Minor Thing. I worked directly with the writer and director to create the animation. I also designed the titles that intercut between animation scenes. I was in attendance when the film debuted at the Seattle Film Festival, an event I hold fond memories of

to this day.

Custom Illustration Whiteboards

People are inherently attracted to engaging visuals. Whiteboard animations blend storytelling with striking graphics, helping to quickly attract and maintain viewers' attention. They are ideal for simplifying complex concepts into easily understandable formats. You can customize every element—script, visuals, tone-to align with your brand. Whether you're marketing a product, clarifying a service, or highlighting company values, whiteboard animations are versatile and suitable for any business purpose.

3D Animated Commercials

All Muffler Service is a muffler shop located in Rocklin, California. I have created several animated commercials for their YouTube channel and website to help promote their business and improve their SEO. This commercial features custom 3-D characters designed specifically for the client, incorporating their brand colors and logo.

2D Animation, Rotoscope & Line-boil

2D animations offer colorful, dynamic visuals that immediately grab attention. In a world filled with static images and text, they stand out and make your message pop. They can be adapted for different styles and tones to suit your brand's unique personality. I created all the animations in this video, demonstrating three techniques: 2D animation, rotoscoping, and line-boil.

Animated Web Series

Traveling Gringos is an animated web series I co-created and animated. Debuting in 2008 on YouTube, it became the Internet's first daily animated web series, finishing with over 100 episodes. At that time, a nascent YouTube selected our animation to help launch its new film and animation section.

Animated Short Films

TREP is my independently created superhero that I animated from 2002 until 2004. In 2009, I signed a DVD distribution deal with Apprehensive Studios.
