Since graduating Ringing College of Art and design, I have been an animator on several interactive, TV series, and commercial projects.I’ve worked on set dressing and cameras for multiple feature films. I've helped create feature film pipeline tools, led a team of artists, excelled at cross-departmental communication, and conducted performance reviews and training. I am deeply interested in all aspects of the story process, and have contributed story ideas on several projects.
