Character designer, animator, and director with nearly 20 years shaping the visual identity of Adult Swim and Cartoon Network, and leading character design on upcoming Netflix and independent series. I specialize in surreal, art-forward character and world building—from hand-sculpted stop-motion casts to exploratory design and episodic animation turnarounds. I bring deep production experience across 2D and stop-motion/mixed media, plus a highly collaborative approach suited to boutique studios, game studios, and experimental teams. Open to remote work or relocation, and always looking for projects that value distinct authorship, craft, and conceptual depth.…Character designer, animator, and director with nearly 20 years shaping the visual identity of Adult Swim and Cartoon Network, and leading character design on upcoming Netflix and independent series.
