Hello!

As an animator, concept artist, and storyteller my work takes on a wide range of forms from the animation pipeline.

 

I explore story structure by creating characters, worlds for them to live in, and bringing those characters and stories to life. For as long as I can remember, since finding my mothers old sketchbook, I was fascinated by the 2D medium of animation. Watching a significant amount of 2000’s - 2010’s Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and Disney also heavily inspired me; with clips of Gravity Falls, Over the Garden Wall, and Chowder living rent free in my head.

 

 Over the years before leaving home for boarding high school I had completely filled over fifty sketchbooks. While the level of quality within these sketchbooks is to be debated, the passion I carried still pursues through all my work to this day.

 

My work ranges from sprawling complex worlds held together by intricate internal rules to more casual comedy pieces focused more on characters and the “rule of cool”. This can manifest in detached animations that aim solely on creating moods through the art and music, snappy looney tune-esque animation, or narrative driven stories based on exploring different settings and dynamics. Anyway you slice it, my goal is always to create a work that people are able to connect with in meaningful ways, and to make sure my creativity doesn’t feel stale or one-note, the connections will range between the large range that make up a person's emotional spectrum.

 

I continue to learn and improve in the animation pipeline, while also enhancing other artistic skills such as musical composition, wood working, guitar, and writing. It is my ultimate goal to utilize my passion for animation and art as a whole to help other artists and studios to bring their visions to life, all while improving my own skill for my personal stories and characters.
