[pik-səl - po͝oshər] (noun) :
A multi-disciplinary artist who works primarily in the digital domainsI like to make things! Lots of things. All SORTS of things! Working mainly in the post-production fields of animation, music, VFX, sound FX and editing, I've reveled in the pleasure of taking daily adventures in the making of films, commercials, social media pieces, corporate communications, shorts, explainers and everything else in between! In terms of specific skills, I have worn and enjoy continuing to wear a lot of hats: lead editor (narrative and doc styles, online and offline), 2D/3D animator & motion graphic artist, designer (graphic and sound), composer, writer, compositor, VFX supervisor, even Director on occasion! I really enjoy shifting roles; for me, it helps keep things fresh and interesting with every project! Throughout my work over the years I've had the pleasure to collaborate with an awesome range of clientele, ranging from brands such as Google, Diageo, CNN, Nike, Vox, HP, Intel, Microsoft, Sony, Pepsi, Snuggle, and YouTube, to creators like The Key Of Awesome, bands like Centaurus Rex and Gentle Giant, and all the way to various filmmakers and other artists, with many other collaborators both big and small! I'm always down to meet and work with new companies and collaborators! Outside of the production world, my first love of music has led me on all sorts of adventures: I've toured with a folk rock band playing trumpet and mandolin, I do numerous recording projects around the country, and I sing with the Manhattan Choral Ensemble in New York City, all coupled with various writings and jams on the side! I'd love to collaborate with you sometime! Let's make something awesome together!
