Thanks for stopping by! I’m an artist who enjoys exploring many mediums because I’m a storyteller at heart. I studied animation at the Laguna College of Art and Design, and Acting and Playwriting at BYU. I currently manage the Animation Education Dept. at the UDesign School of Art in Irvine, CA. Take a look around an please reach out with any inquiries via one of the above links, or message directly here.
I was lucky enough to study Character Animation with some very talented industry veterans at the LCAD. Because of that, I have a strong foundational knowledge of animating in, and the pipelines of, Maya, ToonBoom, and traditional pencil/paper, as well as familiarity with ZBrush, Storyboard Pro, Clip Studio, Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, After Effects, and the Google and Microsoft Suites. I believe in telling stories through good acting and good cinematography with cool characters and killer writing.
In addition to animation, I bring a robust set of creative skills from years of professional experience as an actor, musician, photographer, and illustrator. I can successfully collaborate with even the most challenging of personalities. I take critique well. I have a work ethic and drive that is contagious, and I can always be found leading by example from the front. As a jack-of-all-trades who can fill in any team’s gaps, I make a great asset!
