At ICON Creative Studio, I animated characters for Motel Transylvania (Sony Pictures Animation) in Autodesk Maya, working with the animation lead and animation director to maintain the show’s style and quality.

At Herne Hill Media, I created creature animation for Desert Warrior, In the Lost Lands, Wednesday Season 2, and Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. I also recorded and cleaned motion-capture data for biped crowd and army animations on a major unreleased production.

Across game, film, and television projects, I’ve worked on gameplay and cinematic animation, creature animation, and in-engine implementation. My credits include EA’s Need for Speed Payback, Ubisoft’s Starlink, LEGO® Legacy: Heroes Unboxed, and A Tale Dark and Grimm Season 1.
