I am an animator and director with studio experience and film education. I lead animated projects from the initial concept and script development through visual development, storyboards and animatics, to animation production and supervision of post-production. I’m responsible for the narrative and visual coherence of the project, collaborating with producers, directors, and animation teams across all production stages. I combine dramaturgical thinking with a practical understanding of the production pipeline, team workflow, and the realities of budgets and schedules.
