My Story

Purple Cube

My creative passion bloomed early on as a child. You could catch me trying to emulate Steven Spielberg movies in my backyard with the home camcorder or tinkering and modding an old flight simulator game on my Indigo iMac. I knew from a young age that whatever I did in life ⁠whether it was designing, filming, animating or shooting ⁠— if it included the opportunity to create something I would be happy. So far, twelve-year-old Sean was right.

Luckily, my creative pathway has been a rich one, even if it’s taken me in directions I couldn’t have imagined at the outset. Early in my career I found my fulfillment teaching the same creative skills that I was eager to learn to younger students. I designed and taught online courses such as Minecraft programming, video game design, 3D printing & animation. It was quite rewarding to empower students and provide them the same tools and instruction I desperately looked for as a child.

After a few company mergers and buyouts I was ready to leave the startup culture to settle down and start a family. I was lucky enough to use my wide-ranging multimedia skills to help the Peace Corps develop their online learning content for posts across the world. I took the same award-winning formula that worked for kids and applied that same energy to adults by empowering staff and volunteers across the world by helping them build world peace!

For internal webpages there's nothing that beats Sharepoint. Some scoff at its simplicity but I've extensively used plugins like Shortpoint which introduce custom animations, scroll effects and layout options that help create beautiful looking sites. It's the equivalent of Framer but for Sharepoint!
