Animator and Production Artist with two decades of experience delivering broadcast-ready 2D animation. I thrive in fast-paced environments wearing multiple hats designing characters, building rigs, painting backgrounds, and laying out scenes. I am at my best when given a script and left to handle the visual heavy lifting from start to finish.
