I spent 15+ years as a CMO and Marketing Director for other companies before I went Bald. I lost my hair – but found my calling:

Leading a creative agency that builds unapologetically bold ideas for brands with big (hairy) audacious goals. 

With emotion, insight, and imagination, we Baldly take you where no brand has gone before.

Brands go Bald because:

❌ Full marketing teams are expensive to staff in-house
❌ Finding reliable freelancers takes a ton of trial and error with high turnover
❌ Companies need fresh takes from people who can see the forest for the trees
❌ Average agencies burn businesses with cookie-cutter processes and soulless results

What Bald does different:

✅ Treat clients like partners and collaborate
✅ Operate as an immediate extension of your in-house creative
✅ Provide golden trifecta of strategy, creative, and marketing under one roof

Bald’s team of world-class branding experts, designers, strategists, and marketers have worked with brands like Tesla, Audi, Coca Cola, Under Armour, HP, and Volkswagen. 

Between us, we’ve directed Super Bowl ads, won 9 Cannes Lions, 19 Loerie awards, Best ad on TV awards, and more…

Here’s what we offer:
Brand strategy
Brand identity
Brand marketing
Brand campaigns

We’re rulebreakers, misfits, free-thinkers, and future-dreamers.

With our unique process, we’ll help you go Baldly where no brand has gone before. 

Our magic method:
1️⃣ Research and discovery
2️⃣ Insights & pattern recognition
3️⃣ Brand definition
4️⃣ Brand expression
5️⃣ Brand distribution

It’s hard to see what makes your brand truly shine and stand out from the inside. Bald can shave your creative load and comb through the noise to wax smooth your bald spots.

Let your heart rule your head.

Building brands with sharp strategy, crisp creative, and masterful marketing.

I’m a freelance motion designer and art director exploring how visual storytelling can break down complex topics and engage the viewer through animation and interactive elements.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked with global agencies and mission-led brands, helping them distill complex ideas into visuals that create clarity.

If you’re building something meaningful and want the visuals to feel true to the message, I’d love to talk.

Call-out to all awesome producers and CDs. Work with me, and I will animate the living lights out of your beautifully designed characters! I'm easy to work with, a great communicator, proactive, and a sucker for talking shop and lending an ear. 

Not long now until I bring all this fun stuff into Rive. Then we'll be cooking :P

Motion Designer | The future of animation is interactive :)

2026 will be the year of interactive animation for me. Let's go Rive! You can test this interaction yourself on my website.

So many opportunities to make a storyline interactive and engaging for the audience. Guiding the eye is easier to do because you can hand over control to the viewer and let them interact and discover the details in your story. 

I've been working, testing, and playing around with Rive a lot in both client work and personal projects, and I'm ready to bring some extra fun to my clients this year. 

Drop me a DM if you have any kind of questions.

A beautiful example of the power of Rive combined with smooth and fluid motion. Great job Millie Woodcock, love this. ❤️

What happens when your "v1" goes viral before you finish "v2"?  
While working with Raspberry Circle we hit a pivot point when we were designing the new character set for Emy. The original design gained so much traction on social media that it became a brand anchor.
We paused the update, but I couldn’t let this work stay hidden in a folder. I was exploring more emotional depth and exaggerated animations to really bridge the gap between user and digital pet.
We got all the way through rigging, building the start of the state machines, and animating some of the character animation states in Rive 

Rive allowed us to create one rig and with the state machine we can switch between the different characters and different clothing meaning you don’t need to create different animations for each character.

Here’s a peek at the animation states that brought them to life.

“Does anyone else feel the urge to do something with their hands?” said Kalika Sharma in a call with a bunch of cool people in Austin Saylor ‘s project 200k cohort (which I’m loving btw).

Well, I’m here to say I do this. It’s called Kigumi and it’s a miniature version of the famous Japanese woodworking method that doesn’t use nails, screws or adhesives. 

I got this little puzzle from the airport as I was leaving Japan. To be more precise, my fiancé got it for me. It sat in a corner fo a while until I started working on it a few weeks back. 

It takes a while, it’s tedious and I love it. It’s something artistic to work on when I’m not animating or working in Rive. And it gives me room to think and slow down.

Thanks Kalika for inspiring me to share this. 

What is everyone else is doing with their hands? I’d love to know. Don’t be dirty 😅

If you want a short primer on Rive this is a great, quick overview about creating one of the most used types of interactions: hovering. Give Joey Judkins some love! There are lots of tutorials out there, but only a few great teachers.

If you're interested in learning Rive but aren't sure where to start, I'm excited to bring you a new short video that will get you up and running in about 10 minutes. You'll create an interactive design using Rive's vector shape tools, inputs, and even use a little bit of data binding. 

This is for true beginners, so please dive in and enjoy the video! I can't wait to see what you create in Rive.

This will be part of a new series that covers lots of common "firsts" in Rive - your first layout, your first character animation, your first interactive menu, etc. 

Thanks for watching, and Happy Friday!

A great take on the state and future of motion design from my peer and long time inspiration Emanuele Colombo .  

Some good old times lost, but maybe there’s hope yet to spark back life into communities. Once thing is for sure: things won’t be the same again.

I sat down with the nice folks at Brands In Motion to discuss the state of motion design. From the early Vimeo days when our community was just forming, through the massive shift we're experiencing now, to where our industry is headed next.

https://lnkd.in/dBF5Qzzn

I hope this conversation sparks the kind of dialogue our industry needs right now and reignites the sense of community that has always defined us. If you're a motion designer, share your thoughts in the comments and pass this along to your colleagues.

Shout out and a huge thank you to Winston Duke and Jamie Quantrill for having me on.
