ABOUT ME
I'm an freelance animator and educator in the Pacific Northwest.
My passion for storytelling and artistry is what drove me to animation, where I fell in love with the history, process, and the technology.
The power of story lingers with me still from childhood adventures watching films with my grandfather. Curiosity and learning drive me to continually acquire new skills and improve my craft.
I believe in a strong work ethic, and always strive for quality and punctuality. I work in a variety of animation mediums, and have had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, including short films, advertising, podcasts, as well as some non-profit work.
When I'm not animating, I play and write music and table top games.
I also volunteer as secretary and instructor at the Digital Dabblers, a non-profit for digital artists offering workshops, resources, and community.
If you have any questions or are interested in hiring me for freelance work, please feel free to contact me via e-mail.
