Summary

I have 10+ years of experience in the animation industry, working various jobs at many different levels in the pipeline. My main focus has been in story, as a storyboarder primarily in board driven shows, although I have experience with script driven productions as well. I’ve since moved up to and become comfortable in managerial and supervisory positions, and am proficient in creating efficient and burnout-free workflows for storyboarders and revisionists. I value deep collaboration between departments, making sure to implement processes that work best for an entire production, as opposed to just one or two departments.

I’ve dabbled in design and animatic/post as well, and I am committed to building a strong muscle memory of all parts of the animation machine, to make the most well-informed decisions on every production I am fortunate to be a part of!

As far as illustration and graphic design goes, I have proficiencies in concept art, advertising and web design, with a solid grasp of UI design and 3D production for games. I have experience as a lead artist and an art director working with small teams of illustrators, web designers and character modelers. Projects I've worked on include social games (web-based and mobile), concept art, website creation, ad campaigns, and large-scale media design.
