I grew up in rural New Hampshire and studied Animation at Vassar College. I interned at Pixar Animation Studios during pre-production of Ratatouille before moving to New York City to work as a freelance stop-motion animator, filmmaker, and prop/puppet fabricator. I contributed to two feature films that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, as well as numerous music videos and commercials. Later, I moved to California, earning an MFA in Film Production at USC. Since graduation, I’ve worked on television shows, short films, music videos, and commercials as a director and assistant director.
