Hey there, I’m Max.
I'm an Atlanta-based creative director, animator, editor, and director, passionate about solving problems and building strong teams through my work. Currently, I'm proud to serve as the Creative Director at Look Listen.
With more than 15 years of experience in the creative industry, I've honed my skills as a trusted leader and multi-disciplinary creative director. Whether I'm collaborating in an agency setting, working as a freelancer, or running my own business, I thrive on finding creative solutions for clients around the world.
My expertise spans across various markets, including commercial, corporate, retail, and non-profit sectors. I specialize in leading creative teams and crafting industry-leading visual content that captivates audiences.
You'll often find me obsessing over keyframes in After Effects, directing projects, collaborating with teammates, or partnering with clients to bring their visions to life. When I'm not immersed in the creative world, you can catch me sneaking in a run and spending time with my with family.
