Designer. Editor. Researcher. Creative.


Aesthetics are only as strong as the idea itself.

Hailing from a small Midwestern town, I now live and work in Indianapolis, Indiana as the Manager of Post-Production and Motion Graphics for the Indianapolis Colts. If you don’t catch me swimming in a sea of keyframes, I’m often playing the part of researcher, scriptwriter or team morale booster.

Indianapolis has provided a wealth of opportunity for me to expand my skillset working for a wide variety of clients and learning from some amazing creatives; although it doesn’t hurt that it has amazing music venues, an excellent craft brewing scene and great golf courses.

Though I make time for the enjoyable parts of life: playing music, working on my putting; my real passion is digital media design. There’s something special about the creative process for me, particularly when collaborating, and I love the interaction with my clients & partners that turns their vision into a successful reality.

Whatever the mission, whatever your story; you’ll find an attentive, flexible designer working along side you to make your ideas come to life. Line by line, pixel by pixel.

Cheers, -z
