Hi! My name is Sam and I love making things move! I’m an artist based in SoCal, I studied Experimental Animation at Laguna College of Art and Design, and graduated with my BFA. My areas of expertise include Toon Boom Harmony, character acting, 2D rough animation, and 2D puppet rigging and animation. 2D rigs are my favorite to work with, as it’s such a fun challenge to see how much you can emulate the flow and vivacity of traditional 2D animation with the constraints a rig brings.
