About

I have been a Poser/Designer/Character Builder at Elliott Animation for almost 17 years, Supervising for the last 10. With the Television Episodic series market in flux, I can now search outward and look for common interests. My main focus and daily experience has been almost exclusively on Posing and Builds for Total Drama and Total DramaRama, with a couple seasons of Bunsen and Fairly Odd Parents for Nickelodeon sprinkled in. I was Technical Director on the WB’s “Will and Dewitt” before I joined Elliott and FreshTV, securing a hard-earned Gemini (CSA), for excellence in Children’s Programming for DHX. Before that, I brought another Gemini to Smiley Guy Studios for "Odd-Job Jack’s cross platform interface through the Comedy Network.
My freelance career has leaned heavily to characters and illustration, and I have always focused on conceptual design and story, with a heavy value on illustration from pencils to digital.
