Originally a mid-west native, I’ve spent the past decade living and working in Los Angeles. Now, I’m relocated to Austin, Texas!
Embracing the various roles of designer, concept artist, illustrator, animator and editor, I have had the pleasure of working on several incredible projects with some very talented people.
With an affinity for 80's action movies, retro graphics, synth music and sci-fi / horror, I will continue to immerse myself in the ever-evolving world of design and animation and I plan to never stop learning.
