A Bit About Me
Hi, I’m Max. I’m a multimedia artist with a passion for telling stories in every form they take; visual effects, music, games, writing, and beyond.
I grew up making things. I was writing music before I could read it, building imaginary worlds, and obsessing over movie magic. That creative energy never left. Now, I channel it into everything from cinematic VFX to immersive sound design, fantasy novels, and interactive experiences.
I studied Visual Effects and Technical Animation at SCAD, founded a production company, and have self-published original fiction, composed custom scores, and developed indie games. I love projects that blur boundaries and invite emotion, whether they’re tiny and strange or big and bold.
If there’s one thing to know about me: I believe art should connect, challenge, and sometimes, just make you say “whoa.”
My Experience
Graphic Design
Brand Design
Website Design
June 2018 - Present
I’ve worked professionally as a graphic design artist and sign installer at River City Signs & Designs, where I gained hands-on experience producing and installing custom visual materials. I later transitioned into full-time freelance design work, a path I’ve followed since teaching myself Photoshop in 2018. In 2023, I earned an Adobe Certified Professional credential in Visual Design using Adobe Photoshop, scoring 908 overall. As a freelancer, I’ve collaborated with clients to understand their goals and translate ideas into compelling visual solutions across digital and print platforms. My design work includes logos, branding packages, brochures, social media assets, advertisements, and website graphics created using industry-standard tools like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. I’m committed to delivering thoughtful, high-quality visuals that make a lasting impression.
Creative Writing
Marketing Copywriting
Content Editing
April 2014 - Present
As a self-published author, I’ve written and released six original fantasy novels since 2014, developing richly layered worlds and narratives while managing every aspect of the publishing process. My early writing earned recognition in 2017 when I won the Young Georgia Authors (YGA) competition for outstanding literary work. Throughout high school, I also contributed to an online journal as a remote writer, publishing articles on 3D animation tips and industry news. In both creative and professional settings, I’ve crafted compelling content across various formats: blog posts, website copy, social media, and editorial articles, always focusing on clarity, engagement, and brand alignment. I’ve worked closely with editors and subject-matter experts to ensure accuracy and consistency, maintained multiple deadlines across projects, and continually pitched original content ideas aligned with audience interests and organizational goals.

Visual Effects
Technical Animation
April 2012 - Present
As a freelance VFX artist, I delivered contractual visual effects services remotely from Savannah, GA, collaborating with independent animation groups and directors on a wide range of projects, including short films, trailers, music videos, and original animated content. My work specialized in realistic 3D modeling, texturing, and rigging using Autodesk Maya, with a focus on bringing animated characters and environments to life. I applied advanced rigging techniques to ensure natural movement and expression, contributing to visually compelling narratives. Working closely with directors, clients, and multidisciplinary teams, I developed storyboards, visual concepts, and final renders that aligned with each project's creative vision. I consistently met tight production deadlines, managed multiple projects simultaneously, and brought both technical precision and artistic creativity to every collaboration.
Sound Design
Scoring & Composition
Audio Production
May 2011 – Present
As a self-taught composer and sound designer, I’ve written and produced original music since 2013, blending classical foundations with modern digital techniques. My compositions span a wide range of genres and formats, including cinematic scores for short films, ambient tracks for games, and experimental pieces for visual media. I work primarily in Garageband, Adobe Audition, and Musescore, creating layered, emotionally driven soundscapes that support storytelling and enhance viewer immersion. In addition to composition, I’ve provided full-spectrum audio post-production services: editing, mixing, and mastering sound for video, trailers, animations, and live streams. My sound design work often involves building custom audio effects from scratch, incorporating foley, synthesis, and real-world recordings. Whether scoring a scene, designing UI sound cues, or developing a musical identity for a project, I bring precision, passion, and originality to every track.
Video Editing
Motion Graphics
Post-Production
August 2015 – Present
With a background in visual storytelling, I’ve edited video content for short films, trailers, music videos, and digital media since 2015. My work emphasizes emotional rhythm, narrative clarity, and visual cohesion, using industry-standard tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and DaVinci Resolve. I specialize in blending motion graphics with live footage to enhance pacing and impact. From rough cut to final render, I handle every stage of post-production: syncing audio, color grading, transitions, effects, and title design. I’ve collaborated with independent creators, directors, and musicians to deliver polished visuals tailored to their vision. Whether the goal is cinematic drama, stylized chaos, or clean corporate edits, I bring creativity, technical fluency, and storytelling instincts to every project.
Character Performance
Narration
January 2016 – Present
Since 2016, I’ve performed in a range of roles across screen and digital media, bringing characters to life through both live acting and voice work. My acting background includes independent film and motion capture reference, while my voice acting spans animation, audio dramas, indie games, and narrations. As a voice actor, I specialize in expressive character work, narration, and emotional nuance, with a versatile vocal range suited to dramatic, comedic, or stylized performances. I’ve collaborated with directors, writers, and animators to interpret scripts, deliver clean takes, and adapt to creative feedback. My setup includes a professional-grade mic and a space optimized for clean audio. Whether portraying a complex lead or supporting atmospheric voice work, I bring authenticity, timing, and presence to every performance.
