About

I've had a lifelong passion for storytelling and stylized animation. My goal is to try to bring my 2D and 3D art together, combining them as seamlessly as I can. My animation skillset is broad and I use both 2D and 3D tools to get the best results for each project that I work on.

I studied storyboarding and animation, earning my Masters from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2021. Since entering the industry, my work has been featured on NOVA and the Discovery Channel, among others. Currently, I'm working on graphics and simulations to help train the next generation of medical doctors.

Other interests include sci-fi, folk art, puppetry, and bees.
