_makin’ stuff since 2014

After graduating from film school in 2014, Brian launched his career as a videographer, editor, and motion graphics artist at Consumer Reports.

After a few years, he then headed West to join CrossFit Inc., crafting broadcast motion graphics for the CrossFit Games.

Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, Brian returned to the East Coast to build a freelance career with some of the industry’s top motion design studios.

That foundation eventually led him to found Motion Marks—a 3D / CGI studio focused on product renders and animated content for sports, fitness, wellness, and medical brands. Today, Motion Marks has expanded into a tight-knit team of three artists, continuing to make top-notch work.

Continuing to push the bar, Brian joined ESPN’s Creative Studio team in 2025 as a Supervising Animator, where he helps oversee motion graphics for all NFL broadcast and studio programming.

Through it all, Brian is still just getting started...
