After earning my BFA in graphic design and diving into motion graphics and video production, I got hooked on the magic of lighting for animation at a small Dallas animation studio. That spark ignited a new path, leading me to California as a feature film lighting artist.
Fast foward 21+ years, and lighting is still my creative passion. There's nothing quite like painting with light to bring stories to life on the big screen. I've been lucky enough to hone my skills at legendary studios like Walt Disney Animation, Sony Imageworks, and DreamWorks Animation, even contributing to some Academy Award-winning films. The best part? I'm still as enthusiastic as ever to collaborate on the next generation of captivating stories and help bring them to life with the magic of light, regardless of location.
