I am a 2D animator and illustrator with a passion for storytelling, character, emotional grip, and explosions of color.

​

In 2016, I graduated from London’s premiere 2D animation school Central Saint Martins, the University of the Arts London, where I received Merit honors alongside my Master of the Arts degree in Character Animation.  Additionally, I have a BA in English, Creative Writing from Sonoma State University.

​

I have strong working knowledge of the online animation industry, with over three years’ experience creating innovative, eye-catching short films, from projects ranging museum exhibits to popular YouTube channels. I have worked every position in the animation process, from storyboarding, layout, animatic-making, animating, editing, and special-effect-adding.

​

I am no stranger to online marketing and publishing. If you would like to discuss with me possible freelance work regarding my work as an animator, illustrator, character designer, or colorist, please feel free to contact me. I love the chance to create unique, personalized works of art and look forward to hearing from you.
