Multi-Hyphenate Creative Professional

I bridge learning design, voice performance, and creative technology to bring unique perspective to every project.

Builder. Learning experience designer. Voice actor.

For 20+ years, I've combined instructional design, technical development, and multimedia production. The pattern I keep coming back to: I can't walk past a problem once I see the solution. That's how the products got built, and it's how I show up on a team.

Career Timeline

The full trace. Every role deposited something the current work uses.

1994

BFA in Animation

SCAD — Savannah College of Art and Design

The foundation. Learned to think in motion, character, narrative, and time. Also developed the creative obsession that makes solving feel like play.

Mid-90s – Early 2000s

Motion Graphics

Broadcast & production

Translated animation into broadcast contexts. Learned that motion is a language — and that visual communication is problem-solving at its most immediate.

2003 – 2011

Media Developer → IT Developer

SCAD

Built educational media, then pivoted into systems within the same institution. Began building the technical fluency that would later let me solve problems across the full stack.

2011 – 2018

Full Stack Developer & Media Designer

Freelance · Gulfstream Aerospace + others

Seven years moving between clients, industries, and problem types. Each engagement a new problem domain.

Jun 2018 – Present

Director of IT Services

John S. James Company

150+ employees. Six offices. Complex customs brokerage operations. Built a CRM that saved $1.2M. Managed enterprise infrastructure.

What I Bring

Most learning designers create content. I design, build, and produce complete solutions:

Design

Learning objectives, assessments, scenario-based learning, accessibility

Build

LMS platforms, custom tools, integrations, analytics

Produce

Video, voice-over, interactive content, documentation

Deliver

Stakeholder collaboration, project management, business outcomes

Current Focus

Most of my time goes to shipping the products on this site: VideoCue in beta, TaskQueue on the App Store, smaller tools and experiments alongside. The work is hands-on: design, build, ship, support.

I’m open to the right role on the right team. I work best with teams who:

  • Treat the cross-functional thing as a feature, not a niche
  • Care about outcomes, not just completion or activity
  • Are remote-first or remote-friendly (I’m based in Savannah, GA)
  • Want someone who’ll design the learning, build the tool that delivers it, and stay on after launch

Community Work
