MISSION

Blend the realms of light, sound, and design to create immersive and compelling experiences
to illuminate people, places, & things.

I'm an A/V artist proficient in production and post-production for video, audio, and graphic projects. Helping design and produce bold, impactful experiences for others, is what I love to do.

DESIGNER

From an early love of pen on paper, to my education in fine arts and music, I've gained an understanding of form and composition. I've been lucky to have a client base that pushed me in many directions and forced me to learn on the fly. This wide array of projects evolved from graphic design, to video, to interactive projects, yet everything I create is based upon on the design concepts I've learned... and continue to learn. I am a life-long student of the arts.

PRODUCER

Being a music producer was the dream, yet while getting my degree in audio production, I took a video editing class and was instantly hooked. I purchased my first DSLR camera not long after that and began making videos from the footage I captured on my travels. After a stint working at a recording studio, I found myself at a video production house, making videos, animating graphics, and authoring DVDs. (Yep, it was that long ago.) Technology has changed a lot, yet my foundation is based on the same concepts I originally learned ... and continue to expand upon.

MUSICIAN

Being a trumpet player, turned singer, turned drummer, turned DJ, turned audio engineer, means I've experienced a lot of different sides of the music business. Attending festivals of all types, has given me an acute sense of what inspires attention. It's all about the dance of light and dark, loud and quiet, fast and slow. I am driven to create unique offerings in composition and form that hopefully spark interest and wonder in the minds of those that experience them.

ARTIST

Currently, I keep myself busy with projects that mix all of the aspects I love... audio, video, design, and more. Currently, I am producing light art sculptures from wood, aluminum, acrylic, and LEDs. I also VJ (like a DJ but with video loops) when I get the chance to light up an event, wall, or screen. (More about this on the Lambent Visuals site.)

Though I have identified as a video editor and motion graphics creator in the past, this is not how I define myself. I'm a photographer and videographer yet these don't define me either. I love to experiment with graphics and motion design, yet that is to support my other ideas. My goal is to make art that combines all of my talents in collaboration with people that get it. Might you be that person?
