I've been a creative entrepreneur for 20 years.In 2009, my wife Rebecca and I co-founded ArtResin — a non-toxic epoxy resin for artists. I led marketing, brand, content, and eventually product formulation (I went back to school for two years of organic chemistry to do it properly). We grew it from a kitchen-table experiment into a brand sold in Michaels, Blick, Amazon, and hundreds of retailers across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. At our peak we were a 40-person team and one of Shopify Canada's top 10 e-commerce companies. We sold the business to our partners in 2024.I'm now back doing creative work because I love the craft — and because between chapters of building my own businesses, the best place I know to keep sharp is making things for other founders and brands.Most senior motion designers are technicians. I'm an artist who became a marketer who became a founder who became a chemist who came out the other side with a successful exit. That's the perspective I bring to every project.I'm based in Dundas, Ontario. I work remotely with clients across North America. When I'm not on a project, I'm painting, raising two kids with my wife, or scanning fast food restaurants with a LiDAR rig somewhere in the U.S.
