Hello world.
I'm a versatile 2D/3D Animator based in San Francisco, California, with over 18 years of experience in animation. My expertise spans the mediums of broadcast television, internet “webisodes”, mobile iOS/Android and Facebook gaming, interactive and AR animation for children’s mobile apps, and film production. I take pride in my ability to seamlessly transition between 2D and 3D animation, leveraging my strong foundation in 2D animation principles to enhance my skills in the world of 3D animation.
Throughout my career, I have excelled in leadership roles, guiding and mentoring animators and outsourced teams. I have consistently contributed to projects in lead or senior capacities, taking charge of developing animation styles, implementing new technology and pipelines, and collaborating on storyboards, character design, mockups, and 2D rigging. Importantly, I always make space for individual key-frame animation contributions, recognizing the importance of personal expression as well as the benefits of continual learning and skill sharpening.
Beyond animation, I have an interest in graphic design, motion graphics, drawing, 3D modeling, teaching, mentoring, and even culinary pursuits like cooking and baking. And for those who truly know me, I have a soft spot for PUGS! OOOOOF!
Currently, I am freelancing and actively seeking captivating new projects, with a particular focus on performance, action, storytelling, connection, and immersive VR/AR opportunities.
