Process
How I work.
01
Same-day deadlines
Three to five finished spots a week at KKTV, script to master, most of them due the day they are briefed. I storyboard fast, build in templates where it helps, and still hand-finish the work.
02
3D and real time
Cinema 4D and Blender for modeling and lighting, Unreal Engine 5 for real-time scenes and cinematics. The 2025 “Alerting You First” promo was built in Unreal 5.6.
03
An AI pipeline I can explain
Claude, ElevenLabs, Higgsfield, Seedance and Nano Banana sit in the pipeline for boards, scratch voice, variants and cleanup. Design, animation, edit and final art are mine, and I say which is which on every project.
Right now
Current, as of this year.
2026 reel, 62 seconds. Ashe & Granite shipped on itch.io, a game I wrote, art-directed and built in Godot with AI-painted art and AI narration. Teaching Gravity Sketch, Blender, Unreal Engine 5 and the Adobe suite. Adobe Certified Professional ×5.

About
Art director who still does the work.
I set the direction and then I build it: storyboards, 3D, animation, edit, mix. At KKTV that means the whole on-air promo and 3D package, most of it due the day it is briefed. Before that I directed campaign creative for 30-plus automotive dealers and mentored the designers around me.
