Motion Graphic Design | Animation | Art Direction | Creative Problem Solving

Since 1996, I have made digital communications my career by creating dynamic media for my clients for both broadcast and digital distribution. I truly enjoy working with my clients by helping them reach their communication goals using my experience and creative problem-solving skills.

Some of the folks I’ve helped out.

At Houghton Media, we are proud to work with both large and small clients. The challenges are different for each one and we relish the opportunity to work with their individual needs!

Here are some nice things clients have said about me.

Dont’t take our word for it – here’s what our clients say:

This guy’s a genius at getting it done. Great ideas. Great collaboration. Creative. Fast. Yet, unbeatable quality. Rob’s been our go-to motion-graphics man on many of our most important projects, including Spirit Mountain Casino, Goodwill Industries of the Columbia-Willamette, and more. Highly recommended!

Rain the Growth Agency

I had the pleasure of working with Rob for over five years. He is a great motion graphics animator, and is always up for a challenge. He is a creative mind, but also has an amazing ability to know all things technical. We created a lot of great work over the last five years, and I would happily more than recommend Rob to anyone.

Freelance Creative Director

Rob is one of the most skilled after effects animators I’ve had the pleasure of working with. He is incredibly easy to work with and has a great eye matched with amazing skills. As an editor I’ve collaborated with him on several very difficult projects and I can state as a fact he delivers every time. Rob never misses a deadline and gives nothing less than 100% on every project.

About Robert

I’ve been a diligent student of animation since I was a young boy living in the Puget Sound region of Washington State. By breaking videos down to see how they were made, I took that desire to learn and quickly started my professional career at 21 in Portland, Oregon. Since then, I’ve worked for two post production houses, a television station and two advertising agencies before I started a freelance career in 2010.
I’m passionate about helping my clients communicate their ideas. From my extensive experience, I’m familiar with the whole process of creating a project. That means from conception to completion. I apply that knowledge to every project I am grateful to work on. I create engaging media regardless of whether I am working on my own or by collaborating with others.
In my spare time I’m a father and husband to my son and wife. I try to garden (as a resident of the Puget Sound, that is often a harder task than it should be. I’m an avid DIYer and fledgling woodworker and I enjoy playing roleplaying games such as D&D and Pathfinder as well as making graphic assets for VTT games.
