I'm a senior 2D animation artist and art-direction leader with 15+ years in television animation and independent production. I specialize in production-ready visual development—backgrounds/environments, prop/FX, and character-focused design support—and I build cohesive style systems and ship high-volume assets while collaborating closely with directors and producers. I've led art direction at Titmouse and directed SHYCO's independent projects, coordinating design, layout, animation, VO direction, and asset management to deliver on time and on brand.
