Experience

I am an animator, motion designer, illustrator, storyboard artist, and educator with 15+ years of animation experience in feature films, television series, and video games.  I've worked on Feature films for DreamWorks Animation and at Viacom on television series as an animator for networks Nick Jr., and MTV. My work includes directing several on-air children’s shorts for Nick Jr. and Sesame Street Workshop. Additionally, I've worked at Kabam Games as an animator and recently worked as a principal animator and lead character designer at Double Down Interactive.

My career is grounded in giving back through education. I also had the privilege to teach and create art curriculums for elementary and college levels. In the past I've taught in the NYC public school system, guest lectured at Pratt Institute, and the School of Visual Arts, and taught animation at Ex’pressions College.
