NY based 3D animator with over 14 years of experience. My passion lies in 3D character animation, 3D animatics, previs + layout, brainstorming ways to tell a captivating narrative and, of course, receiving compliments from my team on my multicolor emoji-fied spreadsheets. 🌈📜 Previously Head of Animation at previs studio 321 Launch, most recently an Associate Animation Director with Nick Jr's Brand Creative and currently on the hunt for my next animation adventure! I've had the pleasure of leading and/or animating on 7 series launch campaigns (Blues Clues & You!, the new Dora series, The Adventures of Paddington Bear) - as well as the Emmy nominated "Block Party: Quest for the Golden Cube," and Promax Gold award winning "Proud to be Us" DEI campaign. I hope to continue to work on meaningful pieces alongside incredible talents, or, at the very least, animate a couple more clumsily cute creatures!
