Senior character animator / Animation Director
Send a job offer directly to this candidate
I'm an animation director with a background in film and animated features, with a long focus on character performance. What I've developed over the years — maybe more than anything else — is a precise sense of what makes a performance land. Not just technically, but emotionally. The micro-decisions: a weight shift a beat too late, an expression that's correct but not true, the difference between hitting a mark and actually being present.
I've applied that eye both to my own work and to the animators I've directed. Translating intuition into specific, communicable feedback is something I've done consistently. This role is asking for exactly that — and it's a problem I find genuinely interesting.
20+ years as a character animator and animation director on animated features, starting with Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas (2004). Credits include multiple productions at Illumination Mac Guff, Walt Disney Animation Studios, DreamWorks, and Mikros Animation. Specialized in character performance, characterization, and preproduction. Currently directing an animated feature at Lunchbox Labs.
Master's degree in Art and Animation from École Georges Méliès, France (2002).
