What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative animation role focused on character animation and storyboarding where I can contribute to short-to-mid-length projects, learn from experienced producers, and expand my technical skills in industry-standard tools.

I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Applied Media Arts with a cinema concentration and a focus on traditional animation, and I bring hands-on experience across 2D and computer animation workflows.

I independently animated and produced full animated short films, performing storyboarding, rough and final animation, background design, sound design, and editing; my senior film demonstrated mastery of parallaxing and higher frames-per-second action sequences.

As an animation intern I created animatics and storyboards, participated in visual development for early-learning content, collaborated with peers to meet tight deadlines, and used industry software to deliver polished animated pieces.
