I’m a freelance motion designer, art director, and illustrator.

Hello, I'm Nicholas. I tell stories and make things move. I’m based in Los Angeles, and have over 15 years of experience working on broadcast packaging, brand animations, social media, and explainers. I enjoy infusing my work with hand-made elements, while still focusing on making everything pixel perfect.

In my spare time, I like to make music, travel, read music biographies (of varying quality), and think about playing tennis.
