Motion systems
Motion that works without a motion designer in the room.
20+ templates for the Atlanta Hawks. 6 motion pillars for Amazon Music. 4 water-based motion patterns for Intuit.
Design Technologist
I notice what’s slow or stale and build the thing that fixes it. Design, motion, systems, and tools, since 2011.
Motion that works without a motion designer in the room.
20+ templates for the Atlanta Hawks. 6 motion pillars for Amazon Music. 4 water-based motion patterns for Intuit.
The right way is often the slow way. I build the fast one.
45 clicks to 1 at Intuit. 4 hours to 4 minutes at Amazon Music. 10,000 logo files to 1 menu for the NBA.
Finding what a new medium is for, before the rules exist.
Album covers turned into motion for 150+ releases and 100M+ views, then NBA gameday graphics in AR.
Motion systems
Atlanta Hawks · 2021–22
20+ templates · 50+ projects
Editors, producers and the arena LED crew were rebuilding the same graphics every game. I built the Hawks’ motion system and made it into templates they run themselves.
Amazon Music · 2022–24
6 pillars · 5 months
Listeners lost their place moving through the app. Six motion pillars, from loaders to transitions, measurably reduced that in testing.
Intuit · 2026
4 patterns · modeled on water
QuickBooks pages shifted 8 times in 2 seconds as they loaded, and edits left no sign they’d saved. I proposed Waves: four motion patterns for how things arrive, confirm, adapt and change.
Design tools

Intuit · 2026
~45 clicks → 1
Designers skipped motion tokens because applying one took about 45 clicks. This Figma and After Effects plugin does it in one, and the team adopted it the day I demoed it.

Visual feedback for AI agents
Typed feedback loses the detail. Posterize turns pins and recordings on the screen into tickets agents act on. I run my agent sprints on it daily.

Taste profiles for AI tools
AI tools draft with no idea what you like. Forehead names the moves in what you save; you keep or reject each one, and your AI tools read the result first.
Amazon Music · 2023–24
86% of 150 said it would help
Amazon Music’s creative work was scattered across drives and decks. I designed and coded one home for it, and the VP of Design backed scaling it Amazon-wide.
Amazon Music · 2023
4 hrs → 4 min
Each brand title animation meant hours of moving anchor points by hand. The whole team adopted the tool, and I presented it at Amazon’s Conflux conference.
Orlando Magic · 2019
10,000+ files → 1 menu
Every team’s marks, one dropdown away in After Effects. About 30 hours saved per designer each season, and four more teams took it on.
New formats
Major labels · 2013–19
150+ releases · 100M+ views
In 2013, Instagram added 15-second video, and album announcements were still static covers. I turned them into motion cut to the music.
Atlanta Hawks · 2021
5 prototypes · 2 months
Teams post the same Starting Five graphic 82 times a season. I prototyped five ways to bring it into the fan’s room, and the Hawks CEO greenlit fan testing.
