What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to animation and creative productions where I can direct, animate, coordinate teams, manage timelines, and bring projects from concept through final delivery.

I develop, write, direct, and animate short films, including Queen of the Night, a 4.5-minute film completed in six months, and The Woodland Bunny, a two-minute film completed in four months.

On I See The Stars In Your Eyes (And They Scare Me), I produced a three-minute animated short with a team of 12 artists. I built department timelines, assigned work, facilitated check-ins, and adapted plans to keep production on track for the executive producer's deadline.

I've also worked as a freelance photographer, planning shoots from scouting and call sheets through final edits. My photography has been featured in Billboard Canada, SOCAN Magazine, and Exclaim! Magazine.

Alongside production work, I've supported OCAD University Library & Archives and IT & AV through archival digitisation, equipment lending, tutorials, and technical troubleshooting. I bring organised production planning, careful documentation, and empathetic communication to creative teams.
