What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create platform-native animation, illustration, and motion work where I can translate brand stories, trends, and audience culture into engaging visual content.

I create animation, illustration, and motion graphics for social platforms, translating brand voice, storylines, and internet culture into visual content built for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. At Third Degree Burn, I lead the design and production of high-volume digital content under tight turnaround times.

I've also developed visual assets at Walt Disney Animation Studios and trained in production design and post-production workflows through the Academy Gold Rising program. My work spans experimental visuals, concept pitching, typography, compositing, and platform-native storytelling across varied styles.
