I'm a character designer and art director, with a background in illustration and cel animation. I was born and raised in Maine, graduated with a BFA in Illustration from Rhode Island School of Design in 2012, and now reside in Brooklyn, NY.
I currently work as a freelance artist in Television Animation and Motion Graphics, specializing in character design, art direction, and illustration. Although I no longer work as an animator, my strong animation background informs my design and directing skills with a strong eye for motion, simplicity, and expressiveness.
