I am an art director, illustrator, editor, and animator living in Los Angeles, CA.

From an early age, I could be found lost in a sketchbook, cranking out characters and comics. As a child, I was influenced in equal parts by Neverending Story-era fantasy and the twisted humor of Ren & Stimpy. Through comics and cartoons, I discovered a love of animation and storytelling.

So I packed my bags and moved to New York City to study Traditional Animation at Pratt Institute in 2005. My thesis film, "Oral Report", was showcased at a variety of film festivals including: Reel 13, Animation Block Party, and NYC Short Film Festival. 

Upon graduating in 2009, I explored a range of commercial work, including production management, and am now the art director for Thought Catalog. Though hand-drawn animation isn’t my current focus, it laid the groundwork for my skills in motion graphics, storyboarding, scriptwriting, editing, illustration, and voice recording — along with a healthy dose of patience.

Today my talents include art direction for marketing campaigns, creative treatments, motion, web design, retouching, illustration and design work for internal and external projects, and post-production supervision.

In 2022, I packed my bags again and moved to L.A. where I am happily residing. Stuck in traffic as we speak. ✿✿✿
