I have several years experience creating 3d design and animation for Microsoft and coaching the same as a professor at the Seattle Art Institute. I also been working in motion graphics and 3d in my current role at Avanade. Software packages include Adobe After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator, Media Encoder, Vegas Video, Flash, Prezi, Turbo Squid, and Autodesk 3ds Max.
This is from a project where I went in and edited an existing animation, changing brand in both the visual presentation and the sound track. Software included After Effects, Premiere, and Media encoder. I updated brand for 10 different companies as part of a campaign.
This is a video produced as an informational training at a large company. The animation was done in both 3DS Max and Adobe After Effects.
This part of the video talks to the power of reuse. I created and co-produced this video.

Another look on the same theme. In this part the right side of the image has a 3D animation composited in the reflection.
I started my career at Microsoft as a 3d modeler and animator. I also taught 3d at the Seattle Art Institute for several years. I focused my interest materials and light, but also gained proficiency in modeling and animation systems.
This study focused on using falloff maps and fresnel light to get a toon style render. The goal was to create a more 2d look while using 3d models.
A 3d texture study for buttons used in a video player.
Using particle fields for atmospheric animation effects.
A study for a futuristic interior. Focus was on certain materials textures.
3d objects that were used as icons in a Microsoft deliverable.
