I worked for Rooster Teeth for 6+ years on the YouTube show 'Death Battle' as an Animation Director. Because of the small team size I had to adapt to different software, animation techniques and styles on the fly. By the end of my time at Rooster Teeth I had experience with every step of the pipeline including storyboarding, animatic, animation, comp and delivering the final product for 2D, 3D and Pixel Art animations. I am proficient in Blender, Maya, Unreal Engine 4/5, Animate, Premiere and After Effects. --- Experience: 2020 - 2024 Rooster Teeth Productions | DEATH BATTLE!
