Hi, I’m Paul.
I’m an Illustrator, Motion Artist and Art Director with a home base in 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 infographics, illustrations and animations for Google (via Creative Circle), which followed a 17 year-long tenure as an Interactive Designer for The Wall Street Journal.   Once upon a time I did a lot of freelance work too but parenthood has a way of removing that piece from the board.
I studied illustration at Syracuse University and have since had the pleasure of collaborating with a diverse range of clients, including: Squid Bikes, Burton Snowboards, Grimaldi Outerwear, Brooklyn Brewery, The NBA, Authmade, The Sacramento Kings, The Village Voice, The Onion, NY Press, Motion Math Games and VSP among others.
I've also illustrated the children’s book Snowmastodon! Snow Day Adventure which was written by Amiee White Beasley and was a super fun project..
Over the years I've nabbed a couple awards including recieving a 2011 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 Award for the design of Prescribed, an interactive look at the Affordable Care Act.
When not doing creative stuff I can be found with my family riding Sierra-a-Tahoe, climbing at Pipeworks and scrambling around the mountains. 
Light the beam!
