Hello—
Video editor turned motion designer from Atlanta, currently based in Chicago and very much missing Waffle House. (c’mon, Illinois!)
My background is in production, on-set directing, lighting, and shooting. I began freelancing in 2016 as an editor and worked my way into motion design.
In 2022 I launched an online course to help other freelancers price their work. You can usually find me on LinkedIn, posting freelance tips and breakdowns, or in my newsletter: the Freelance Operating System. Previous issues are posted here on the blog.
I’m also a teaching assistant over at School of Motion (in the Expression Session, specifically!)
You can email me at hello@shealord.com
