I'm an imaginative, confident, and collaborative animator fluent in different styles, blending traditional illustration with technical software to create seamless composites of animation and live action. I excel at storytelling through motion, and I leverage Illustrator and Photoshop for design and image manipulation, After Effects for tracking, rotoscoping, painting, and compositing, and Blender for 3D modeling and animation to realize ambitious ideas. With 20+ years in close-knit graphics and VFX teams, I’ve delivered under tight deadlines for high-profile clients. My work spans stop-motion TV series, music videos, reality TV, independent short/feature films, children's pilots and web series. I’m passionate about making the impossible look real—and, when possible, cool.
