Working under the supervision of the Art Director, I designed style frames in PHOTOSHOP and ILLUSTRATOR, and created motion graphics using AFTER EFFECTS, FLASH, or any other tools needed to give my design some life.

Extracurricular activities
I spend most of my free time creating sites, logos, flyers,
CD covers, etc. for various bands and labels, as well as trying
to perfect my Flash and Motion skills. There's that, or I'm
probably sucked into a new video game.
