01 / A little show & tell

A selection from the field.

From explaining an idea to building a world on screen. A selection of design and motion projects.

Motion Graphics & VFX

Solution Architecture

I love where art and science meet. One fun challenge: animating a 30-minute episode built around a live stream chat, driven by data and automated so changes stayed quick.

Graphic Design

A working typeface designed for a show’s art department, then put to work in its motion graphics.

Generative video workflows

Building AI video pipelines and merging them into a traditional design, animation and compositing workflow. The machines do the heavy lifting; the decisions stay human.

02 / How I work

Film-set discipline.
Minus the film set.

Film and TV run on fixed air dates, signed budgets and zero hand-holding. Years of that make for a simple promise, and it travels well.

On time.

Air dates don’t move, so I don’t either. You get a schedule up front, and files when I said you would.

On budget.

Scoped before we start, no surprise invoices. If the brief grows, you hear about it before the bill does.

On brief.

Give me the brief and forget about it. I work independently, ask the right questions early, and deliver what you asked for.

03 / How I can help

From seed to screen.

A clear idea. A complicated brief. A file that won’t behave. I like figuring things out—and bringing the right mix of craft and technical thinking.

01

Make it clear.

Design, brand communication, and visual storytelling. Give your message a shape people understand.

02

Make it move.

Animation, motion graphics, and editing. Bring ideas to life across screens, formats, and audiences.

03

Make it work.

Visual effects, compositing, and workflow problem solving. Get the tricky details working together.

04 / The person behind the pixels

Billet & Sons.
You’ll be working with Ace.

I’m a Toronto-based independent creative working across corporate communications, broadcast, film, and television. I direct, design, edit, animate, and solve the technical puzzles along the way.

Comfortable collaborating with agencies, production teams, and businesses directly. Curious about the tools. Particular about the details.
