Hire the Best Character Animators
in the United States

Hey, I'm a guy who makes cartoons! I can also handle a lot of the production work (boarding, VFX, etc). I start from the ground-up, bringing your ideas to life using industry-standard Animation software like Toonboom and the Adobe Creative Suite, allowing my work to fit into your team's pipeline. I have over 10 years of experience, have worked amongst industry professionals from Jim Henson Co and Disney, created 2D-animated overlays for music videos, and trailers from everything from comics to games. I also make animation-ready avatars for use in applications such as streaming and Vtubing. (Using software like Adobe Character Animator, Rive, and Live2D). I'm current producing an animated pilot, so my experience extends to show running and talent acquisition in the animation sector. I have a BA in Visual Arts from UMBC. (And yes, I can animate stickmen).

Do you have a story, character, or idea that deserves clear, engaging cartoon animation? Not just motion, but meaning? If you're here, you're probably not looking for just an animator. You're looking for someone who can help turn your idea into something people actually watch, understand, and remember. That's where I come in. As an animator and game artist, I create custom 2D animation designed around your story, style, and goals. What this gives you Your project won't look like everyone else's. Many animations rely on stock assets or recycled motion. I create fully custom characters, scenes, and animations so your project feels intentional, not generic. Your idea stays yours, just clearer. You don’t need to have everything figured out. Together we refine tone, pacing, and visual direction so the animation communicates your message clearly. You get guidance, not confusion. Instead of guessing what works, you get clear creative direction that keeps production smooth and focused. Common ways clients use my work • Character animation and expressive animated scenes • Looping avatars and animated GIF reactions for creators • Stylized storytelling inspired by animated shows • Scenes for content, cartoon video, or animation for games If this sounds like what your project needs, 👉 Invite me to your job on Upwork and let's talk through your idea before anything is animated. No pressure. Just clarity.
