Design Notes

My work has always been informed by and aimed toward utilizing motion in small and large ways. I went to school for animation at USC, and I still deeply feel the need to incorporate motion in my work, be it animated loops in digital products or flipbook papercraft in printed pieces. There is a magic in bringing the living into the still; it makes the design sit with you, not just in front of you.

Before the rise of cinematic gifs in around 2013, the word "gif" was mostly regarded as a low-brow piece of digital ephemera. I feel grateful that I was a part of a cohort of designers that rescued its reputation.

I'll be adding to this page as I make work.
