Get Started
Need an idea explained through animation? I work with organizations to create clear, engaging animated content that educates and inspires action.
Work with me

...and I’m an explanimator. I have over a decade of professional experience writing, illustrating, and animating educational animations. And yes, I made up that word.
I create explainer videos under Explanimated, with a focus on environmental and climate topics. I believe animation is one of the most powerful tools we have for making complex science clear, and for inspiring people to actually do something about it.
I also teach motion design through Animation Explained, where I've helped 40,000+ students learn After Effects across 20 online courses and at the University of Colorado. I'm self-taught, so I know exactly where beginners get stuck, and I've made it my mission to help you get there faster than I did.
