I am a creative problem-solver with skills in Adobe Animate, ToonBoom Harmony, Photoshop and After Effects, as well as some experience with TVPaint. I have a passion for storytelling, prevalent throughout my work, as well as my interests; Dungeons and Dragons and cosplay/model making. These hobbies allow me to fully immerse myself in a story and explore how a world can be built. Crafting props and models has additionally honed my eye for detail. I’ve had an intense enthusiasm for animation all my life and am keen to produce high-quality work in all creative pursuits.
