About

I am a seasoned animator and storyboard artist with over 30 years of experience shaping visuals for animation and film. I’ve collaborated with studios globally, translating scripts into clear, compelling storyboards and character layouts. I’m known for reliability, creative problem solving, and a collaborative approach that helps teams stay aligned with the show’s look and feel.

I thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy mentoring junior artists, refining sequences with directors, and pushing for high-quality assets that enhance storytelling. I am passionate about the craft and continually refine my skills with tools like Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, Photoshop, and Sketchbook Pro to deliver strong visuals on time.
