I am a multidisciplinary animator working across 2D, 3D, and stop motion. I enjoy touching every stage of the pipeline—especially production—where bringing animation to life through timing, squash/stretch, and overlapping action keeps me engaged. I’m also strong at brainstorming and critique, bouncing ideas back and forth and incorporating feedback ahead of deadlines, with punctuality being key to my process.…I am a multidisciplinary animator working across 2D, 3D, and stop motion.
