About
I'm a NY based SCAD-grad with over 14 years of experience. My passion lies in character animation, but I am also equipped with some basic modeling, rigging, lighting and rendering skills as well as motion graphics. I have 6 years of previs experience, which ended in landing as Head of Animation at 321Launch.
Most recently an Associate Animation Director with Nick Jr's Brand Creative, I animated and/or led 7 series launch brand campaigns, the Emmy nominated short “Block Party: Quest for the Golden Cube,” the Promax Gold award winners "Blues Clues & You Launch Campaign" and "Nick Jr's Proud to be Us" campaigns.
