I'm a versatile creator with a passion for animation and design. I've directed animated short films, built and led teams, and consistently deliver high-quality results on tight deadlines. My experience spans animation, video editing, and graphic design, with hands-on work creating assets for marketing and storytelling. I thrive on collaboration across disciplines to bring ideas to life and engage audiences. Beyond animation, I develop marketing assets, teach creative software basics to students, and enjoy building communities around tabletop or game-related content. I value curiosity, continuous learning, and delivering results that exceed expectations.
