I am an imaginative and disciplined artist in the animation industry, excited to continue exploring and developing my skills in visual storytelling. My passion for cinematography has seen me take on roles as a Layout Artist across multiple professional projects, most recently as the sole Layout Artist for the series Ready Eddie Go!, where I enjoyed running the department myself and embracing the challenges that come with it. Previously I spent two years across all 52 episodes of Pop Paper City. Recently I have been branching into 2D digital media with Hoho Entertainment on a new IP, offering services such as Character Design and Graphic Novel Art, and I’m eager to push toward long-term, drawing-centric goals like concept art or storyboard artistry.…I am an imaginative and disciplined artist in the animation industry, excited to continue exploring and developing my skills in visual storytelling.
