ACD Art Director, Senior Developer, Senior Motion Designer

“Run your mouse and not your mouth!”

Dennis specializes in inter-discipline studies. His responsibilities are to assist in every phase of a project from conception to completion. At any given time his tasks can be comprised of: interaction design, broadcast & motion design, print design, web development, art direction & creative direction. A catalyst to the creative process, Dennis aims to raise the bar on every project he touches.

Dennis’ first design job was coloring signs for his dad’s business as a kid. After picking up a series of odd design jobs in and after high school, he landed a full scholarship in the bachelor’s graphic design program at the Art Institute of California. Since graduation, Dennis has worked with world-class agencies both large and small to partner with a spectrum of clients that range from Fortune 10 to boutique.
