​

     I'm an artist seeking to unlock the unique deeper potential in any story. With the limitless nature of animation, that potential never ends!

     Recently, I worked at Drawn From Valor on a project centered around PTSD and other projects spreading awareness about COVID-19 Safety Precautions. In my freelance career, I have animated for numerous organizations including IDEAS For Us, Rock or Something Animation, the Calgary Animated Objects Society, Big Dreamer Design Inc, and Fruits Music. My work under these groups ranged from promotional spots, educational pieces, and music videos.

     Often, I spend my days honing my craft in Storyboarding, Character Design, Scriptwriting, Animation, Sound Design, and Voiceover.

     I graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2019 with a Bachelor's Degree in Emerging Media (Animation).

     My credits include the Award-Winning 2019 Animated Short-Film Serpendipity, for which I was the Co-Animation Director, Lead Animator, and Sound Designer.

​

 Some of my favorite sources of inspiration come are:

Western Animation, Anime, Manga, Graphic Novels, Retro Video Games, Classic Rock Music, Musical Theater, and Pro Wrestling.

BONUS: I also have a 3rd-Degree Black Belt
