What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to create engaging animations while collaborating with creative teams in a supportive environment.

As a freelance character animator and designer, I have dedicated over 15 years to mastering Adobe Animate and creating high-quality animations for a diverse range of clients, including PBS and Cartoon Network Latin America. My journey began as one of the first production partners for Vyond, where I contributed to numerous projects that have received critical acclaim. Notably, I directed the KABI Chronicles motion comic for the CDC, which won the prestigious 2014 HHS Innovates award from the Obama Administration.

My work has not only entertained but also educated audiences, as seen in my contributions to the award-winning documentary 'To Be Us: To Work' and the animated segments for the Gunna music video 'Three-Headed Snake.' With a strong background in sales and business, I understand how to effectively communicate and engage with clients, ensuring that their vision is brought to life through animation. I thrive on new challenges and am always eager to showcase my creativity and skills in impactful ways.
