All my life I have been telling stories— whether through comics, animation, or puppetry. I’ve created multiple award-winning animated shorts in both 2D and stop-motion, and bring over 7 years of experience as a storyboard artist, an animator, and visual storyteller. Throughout my career, I’ve developed a strong ability to craft compelling narratives from scratch, adapt to new challenges, and meet demanding deadlines while producing high-quality, memorable work.
