Film & Series:
I develop and produce animation, films, and series in close collaboration with writers, producers, and studios.
I work with a flexible full production team to take on projects from concept to delivery.
Focus areas:
Animation – Animation IP – AI animation – Pilots – Series Bibles – Visual & Character Development.
Art & Research:
Process-driven work, image-making, and visual perception are the foundations of this part. This approach values abstract ideas as a trigger that can lead to practical ends, and it has very much influenced many of the projects featured here.
These concepts have also been shared with others, particularly in previous classes at institutions such as the School of Visual Arts (SVA) and Pratt Institute.
Commissioned Work:
I work with clients on a range of commercial and independent projects, developing concepts and translating them into finished projects.
Focus areas:
Ideation – Design – Production
Select companies include Cartoon Network, FX Network, Google, RunwayML, Sony Music, and Spotify.
