About me

Craft, collaboration,
and forward motion.

I’m Jacob—a motion designer, lead animator, and 3D artist.

Over the years I’ve worked closely with editors, producers, key art designers, creative directors, and social teams, collaborating across projects to find new ways of elevating the creative.

My responsibilities have ranged from supporting green-screen shoots and integrating brand campaigns to designing production workflows, building After Effects kit templates, and helping teams transition to cloud-based production.

More recently, I’ve taken on a creative lead role, working with designers and animators to develop show packages. I’m forward-thinking and bring a positive, problem-solving attitude to every project.
