I studied Illustration (BFA) and Animation (MFA) in school and am a veteran of commercial media production and academia.
My professional experience extends through multiple facets of animation production and instruction, having worked in video game and interactive media development for companies including Microsoft and Tokyo Broadcasting System. My most extensive experience is in 2D animation production for broadcast media - having contributed writing, story art, character animation and direction on projects for Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney TV, Warner Bros., Fox, Hulu, HBO, and Netflix.
As an independent filmmaker, I have exhibited and spoken at venues such as The Annecy International Animation Festival, The Sundance Film Festival, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and SIGGRAPH. Highlights among these distinctions were awards at the Ottawa International Animation Festival and being a finalist in the Student Oscars.
As an instructor, I served in both faculty and leadership roles for an animation department of over one thousand BFA, MA, and MFA students. During my tenure, my department was ranked #3 in the world. I was also commissioned by Adobe Inc to produce a comprehensive video tutorial series for their Animate application.
I am currently directing remote/global teams in production of an adult animated series for network broadcast.
