I'm a Senior/Lead Animator with a demonstrated 10+ years history of working in the film industry. I specialize in Creature animation, but have experience in all types and am able to quickly learn about and/or assimilate to any new project styles I encounter. I'm particularly interested in more stylized television content, "passion projects," and broadening my scope within the realm of AR/VR/XR.
