About

I am a senior 3D character animator specializing in performance-driven animation for feature films and television. My work focuses on believable acting, clear staging, and emotionally grounded motion.

Over the past 18 years, I have worked across a wide range of productions, from commercial animation to episodic series and feature films. In recent years, my work has been increasingly focused on narrative-driven, film-oriented projects.

I enjoy collaborative, iterative workflows and working closely with supervisors and directors to refine performance and storytelling. My approach prioritizes clarity, timing, and intent over technical complexity.

I am currently available for freelance film and TV projects.
