About

I am a classically trained animation professional with over 30 years of experience in the production of television, advertising and feature animation. I direct animation, storyboard, design characters, layout and posing, and I have also supervised layout and animation and overseen animation overseas. I’m proficient with Toon Boom Harmony and Storyboard Pro. Timing for animation and character animation, with the ability to create strong animated FX are my strongest professional animation assets. To storyboards I bring an attentive eye to composition with strong acting and poses.

I look forward to applying my experience and collaborative approach to deliver high-quality animation for diverse projects.
