I help bring stories to life through animation. With extensive industry experience and a background in education and leadership, I am passionate about creating compelling visuals that engage and inspire audiences. Whether working on feature films, TV shows, or commercials, I bring a collaborative and creative approach to every project, leveraging my expertise in animation techniques, storytelling, and team management to deliver high-quality results.  I have honed my skills in a range of roles over the years, animator, educator, and team leader. From developing storyboards and animatics to directing animators and overseeing post-production, I have a deep understanding of the animation pipeline and what it takes to bring a project from concept to completion. As an educator, I have also had the privilege of sharing my knowledge and experience with aspiring animators, helping them develop the skills and confidence needed to succeed in the industry.
