What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster creativity and collaboration, where I can contribute my animation skills and lead innovative projects.

I'm a passionate 2D Animator and Director with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Savannah College of Art and Design, where I graduated cum laude with a 3.5 GPA. My experience includes leading a team of over 20 people remotely to deliver a polished, stylized animation for a multi-animator project involving more than 300 contributors. I take pride in my ability to communicate effectively and maintain art direction while coordinating the creation of numerous 2D and 3D background assets.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in various animation software, including Toon Boom Harmony and Adobe After Effects. I have produced hand-drawn animations and motion graphics, ensuring a high-quality look for projects. My role as an Art Director involved creating style guidelines and character designs, which helped maintain consistency across the team. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am known for my strong work ethic, dependability, and ability to learn new software quickly.
