Scaling from Freelancer to Department Lead 🚀
My time as Creative Director on Sonic the Hedgehog 2 taught me how to scale.
I went from being a hands-on 3D Generalist to supervising a pipeline and leading a team of 10 artists for a global theatrical release.
Whether it's managing the "Echidna Tribe" sequence for Paramount or working on a branding project, the core skill remains the same: Director-Level Communication.
I help brands and studios bridge the gap between creative vision and technical execution. Whether you need a solo operator or someone to build and lead a team, I’ve been there.
