Q & A

Q: What do you do?

A: I'm a motion designer. I animate videos with After Effects and 3D software.

Q: Where are you?

A: I live in Chicago. (I grew up in St. Louis, which is something St. Louisans are quick to point out. It means I'm a Cardinal fan in a Cubs town. Or, a baseball fan in a football town.) I've worked for clients in many cities, including New York, Chicago, LA, Austin, and a couple of Springfields.

Q: Are you worried announcing your sports allegiance will cost you gigs?

A: If you're, say, an Arsenal fan, do you pretend to root for Chelsea?

Q: What other interests do you have?

A. Drawing, writing fiction, cooking.

Q. Do anything cool?

A. I've met Andrew Kramer, Nick Campbell and Chris Schmidt, three of my four "Mount Everest" motion graphic heroes. Now I just need to meet E.J. Hassenfratz to complete the set.

Q. Anything else?

A. I'm a member of the Mystery Writers of America. I make my own pizza from scratch about once a week.
