About ME
I am an Animator who often works in 2D animation, but am also trained in 3D modeling, and scenery. My work is best known for its originality in overall design. Currently, I am in Chicago finishing up my B.A. in Traditional Animation at Columbia College.
I didn’t think I would ever be an animator, originally pursuing a career as a mechanical engineer. Though I realized quickly that fixing up cars didn’t have the same spark. The type of spark which I would experience with every giggle of joy as a little kid watching morning cartoons like Hong Kong Phooey and Yogi Bear. That’s why I moved to a career in animation where I want to bring that joy to the next generation of kids.
At my time at Columbia, I have been developing and perfecting my animation skills which peers describe as “inspirational.” My impressive artwork is only a small piece of what makes me a remarkable animator; it's my creative process that impresses professionals. At an internship with Payne Duo Productions, my former supervisors remarked that my “creative flow” and “belief in the project” are contagious helping them all find joy even in the nitty gritty parts of development.
Right now I am focused on Landon, a children's tv show I will be pitching in May 2023 after I graduate from Columbia.
