Hi, I’m Paul.
I’m an Art Director,  Illustrator and Designer based in lovely Sacramento California. Most recently, I served as an Illustrator and AD on the Brand Design team at Salesforce. My work generally lives at the intersection of illustration, motion, patterns and design.
Before my time at Salesforce, I spent two years creating visual content and animations for Google (via Creative Circle), which followed a long, 17-year tenure as an interactive designer for The Wall Street Journal.
I studied illustration at Syracuse University and have since had the pleasure of collaborating with a diverse range of clients, including:
Brands: Squid Bikes, Burton Snowboards, VSP, Grimaldi Outerwear, Brooklyn Brewery,
Projects: The children’s book Snowmastodon! Snow Day Adventure and Motion Math Games collaboration.
Sports: The NBA/Authmade, The Sacramento Kings
Editorial: The Village Voice, The Onion, NY Press

Recognition
Over the years, a few projects have picked up some notable nods. In 2011, I received a Webby and a Loeb Award for a WSJ animation project regarding 3rd party cookies and internet tracking. In 2014, I was part of a talented team nominated for an Emmy and a Loeb for the design of Prescribed, an interactive look at the Affordable Care Act.
When not doing creative stuff I can be found snowboarding and rock climbing with my family. Light the beam!
