About

I have been animating professionally for years, working on a wide range or projects, from Stop motion, CG, and Flash animation. I've worked, in many different formats of entertainment, from television and film, to my own personal award winning short film "Stuck". Before that I graduated from Sheridan's 3 year classical animation program. I'm passionate about portraying characters and bringing exciting stories to life through the visual medium. Specialties: I specialize in stop motion animation but have a firm understanding of many digital programs, including Maya, Toon Boom(Harmony) and Flash.
