About Geo

I’m a multidisciplinary creative with over two decades of experience in agency and Fortune 500 media environments. My background spans animation, motion graphics, art direction, and story-boarding, with a proven record of collaborating closely with clients, artists, and editors to bring ideas from concept to completion. A generalist at heart, I thrive in every stage of the creative process. Whether leading a team or working hands-on, I’m driven by a simple goal: to tell stories that move, inform, and inspire.

Education

University of Life

Lifelong Student and Teacher

Birth - present 

Alongside my constant accumulation of new skills, design practices, and creative expression, I've taught art at virtually all levels, from grade-school to college (Webster University: 3D Animation, Drawing for Animation).  I've written a literal book about the creative process, and live it everyday as both an artist and a teacher/mentor.     

Bowling Green State University   

3D Animation and Life Drawing

August 2012

College was barely the beginning of my artistic journey: the launch pad. As such, I've learned a hundred times more through pure curiosity, trial-and-error, professional experience, and sheer bloody-minded determination.
