Available to hire
I am a traditional and digital artist with a BFA in animation from CalArts. Growing up across Africa and Asia enriched my perspective and fuels my creative approach to character design, illustration, and visual storytelling.
Over the years I’ve collaborated with major studios and brands—The Simpsons, Disney Interactive, Nickelodeon, ABC Mouse, and many museums and theme parks—delivering character layouts, designs, and artwork for TV, film, and interactive experiences. I thrive in collaborative environments and bring a cross-cultural sensibility, strong craft, and a passion for storytelling to every project.
