With over 37 years of experience in the animation and media industries, I have worked across a wide range of commercial and independent projects, including extensive educational content for young children. My career spans long & short form productions in studio, hybrid, and fully remote environments, with hands-on involvement across the entire creative pipeline from concept and design through storyboarding, animation, post-production, and final delivery. I specialize in creating engaging, educational animation that balances entertainment with clarity and purpose, ensuring content is accessible, meaningful, and age appropriate without talking down to the audience. Grounded in a strong understanding of storytelling and production realities, I adapt easily to evolving environments, technologies, and team structures, and I thrive in collaborative environments that value clear communication, thoughtful problem solving, and high quality storytelling.…With over 37 years of experience in the animation and media industries, I have worked across a wide range of commercial and independent projects, including extensive educational content for young children.
