Work History

• Motion Graphic Designer / Voice Over Artist

  Sabu Design

  March 2011 - Present

  As a one-person show, it would be easy to portray my job as flying solo all the time. But that couldn't be further from true. I am grateful for, and rely upon, the collaboration with my clients for creative decisions, and often simply catching up before diving into work talk. It's my pleasure to work with good people, take inspiration from the talent that surrounds me, and welcome each new opportunity to learn and grow when a project's demands seem juuuust outside my comfort zone.

  Lead Animator

  Bent Image Lab

  2005 - December 2011

  As lead animator it was my responsibility to ensure that the animation our team contained unique performances that brought characters to life in a believable way, and that the animation maintained a superb level of finesse and polish.
  
  In addition, it was my responsibility to ensure that each animator had the assets they needed to perform their tasks, were clear about the direction they had been given from the director, and to relay client comments in a direct and clear manner.
  
  In short, I kept the team focused on the animation while providing a support and communication that never let the team feel out of the loop.
