About

I’m an award-winning, multi-disciplinary artist who has worked in animation, illustration, and design. My work is rooted in design, illustration, and visual storytelling. Drawing on my background in animation and commercial art, I create images that are clear, engaging, and accessible. I am interested in strong composition, bold visual ideas, and effective communication. Whether working on client projects or personal artwork, I aim to create work that connects with people and leaves a lasting impression.

In addition to client work, I collaborate with studios and fellow artists on animated films and educational content, bringing ideas to life from concept to final execution. I’ve directed opening titles for live-action projects and contributed to award-nominated features such as Song of the Sea and Wolfwalkers with Cartoon Saloon.
