About Me
I have always had a passion for drawing and animation
that was present at an early age. Having the ability to
create a visual language that evokes and illustrates
thoughts and ideas always leaves me sense of wonder.
The process of ascertaining overall acting choices and
character traits, bouncing back and forth with the
physical design and laying down the groundwork to
guarantee strong continuity of a character throughout
my work has become my personal preference in every
production. Thank you for reading.
