Hello! I am a technical animation (CFX) artist, technical director, and visual development artist with 10 years of experience working in the games and animation industries.
I currently work at Walt Disney Animation Studios, where I’ve worn many different hats! As a technical animation artist (Zootopia 2, Moana 2), I animated cloth, hair, and fur for a variety of beloved characters from the films, ranging from the fuzzy and delightful Judy Hopps to the boisterous and majestic demigod Maui. As a technical director (Zootopia 2, Moana 2, Wish, Strange World, Encanto) I created and maintained tools for artists and managed the flow of data and assets from one department to another in the animation process.
Prior to Disney, I worked at Riot Games as a technical artist, on the MOBA game League of Legends and on an animated short film called Ryze: Call of Power.
I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Art. During college, I interned at Teachley, where I developed educational games for students, as well as Autodesk, where I worked on interactive social media driven sculptures for the Autodesk Gallery.
I have a strong interest in visual development and concept art and am regularly working on personal projects in these spaces. I’d love to connect regarding your next project!
