What am I working on?

+$25k

I run a program called +$25k to help freelance motion designers make an extra $25k.

Past projects

From 2017 - 2021, I ran The Lettering Animation Course that helped designers and animators level up their animation skills using lettering and type as the medium and Personal Project Accelerator that helped motion designers conceptualize, produce and launch personal projects. And I also ran Full Harbor Membership that included business/motion design training, challenges, and quarterly planning sessions.
