Available to hire
I’m a multidisciplinary animator and storyteller who loves shaping characters and worlds through clear visuals and thoughtful pacing. I thrive on collaborative storytelling, where quick thumbnails, beat boards, and character performance come together to bring ideas to life.
Based in Valencia, CA, I’m studying at CalArts and creating independent shorts while collaborating on studio projects, from storyboarding to directing and production.
