About me

I am a Professional stop-motion animator and director with a background in commercial and narrative animation. I began animating at age ten, building and animating LEGO sets, and have continued developing stop-motion work through short films, grant-funded projects, and commercial production. My work spans physical animation, effects animation, and end-to-end commercial delivery. I have directed and animated stop-motion commercials for LEGO, Netflix, Football Manager Mobile, and Netflix Games, adapting physical animation for both broadcast and mobile formats. I work extensively with cameras, motion control sliders, practical lighting, and miniature stages. My primary tools include Dragonframe, After Effects, and Premiere Pro, with experience handling animation, compositing, editing, and delivery. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film and Television Production, with a concentration in Directing, from Loyola Marymount University.
