*20 years in 2D animation, now also taking on pipeline and coordination roles.
My animations have been part of projects for Pencilmation and VeeFriends, and contributed to productions like WildKratts, George of the Jungle, and titles for Nickelodeon and Mattel. Twenty years in, I still love what I do and clients tend to notice that.
I specialize in bringing existing assets to life. Give me your character designs, vector art, or illustrated scenes, and I'll handle the rest. Cut-out animation, frame-by-frame, or a mix of both. I adapt to your project and your budget.
What I work on: explainer videos, educational content, social media animation, YouTube series,
GIFs, promo videos, animated stickers, and video game assets. I also love to color animations.
Your project not on the list? Let's talk! Chances are I can help.
Adobe Animate specialist with 15+ years of experience. I also use Premiere Pro to deliver complete, polished files.
One thing clients consistently mention: I communicate clearly, hit my deadlines, and flag problems early. No surprises.
On larger projects, I'm also comfortable stepping into a coordination role : managing timelines, deliverables, and collaborators when the project calls for it.
Ready when you are.
