Hey! I'm Sam
I'm a Motion Designer originally from Massachusetts, currently studying at Ringling College of Art + Design in Sarasota, Florida.
I'm very passionate for the "art of movement". Animating in 2D, 3D, and stop motion, as well as moving myself around outside of work in some of my interests listed below. I've also come to enjoy teaching, working as a Motion Design tutor at Ringling, a snowboard instructor in Massachusetts, and recently teaching some of my friends how to skateboard.
I originally started as a stop motion animator back in 2014, teaching myself in my basement as well as learning some After Effects along the way. Since then I have fell in love with making things move and all the other aspects of Motion Design.
