Hire the Best Toon Boom Studio Specialists
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.

When you hire an animator with 10+ years of professional experience, you're not just getting smooth motion. You're getting a strategic partner who understands *why* a story moves an audience, not just *how* to animate it. I provide a unified creative partner for your entire animated content pipeline. I bridge the gap between premium motion design and high-fidelity 3D execution, ensuring your story maintains its visual and narrative integrity from the first storyboard frame to the final rendered export. By handling both 2D and 3D animation myself, I eliminate the friction of managing separate illustrators, riggers, and editors. You get a single, streamlined workflow from initial concept to a polished, publish-ready video. **𝟐𝐃 𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 & 𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐍 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐄𝐒** - Explainer & Marketing Videos: Script-to-screen production, storyboarding, voiceover sync, and sound design for product launches and brand stories. - Motion Graphics: Animated logos, kinetic typography, title sequences, and UI/UX motion for apps and digital products. - Character Animation: Custom character design, rigging, and expressive animation for mascots, social content, and narrative pieces. - Whiteboard & Infographic Animation: Data visualization, animated infographics, and educational/e-learning content. - Social & Ad Content: Platform-optimized motion design for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

Hello! I just graduated from California State University, Fullerton with a B.F.A. with a concentration in Entertainment Art and Animation. I am interested in any illustration work! :)

Hello, I am an independent working 2d animator and illustrator from the United States, hoping to develop my art career by providing you with the best possible project that combines both quality and efficiency! My main skills are my ability to create fun, two dimensional characters that are either animation or illustration ready. Character design is one of my passions--so allow me to offer you my own creative insight when it comes to designing YOUR mascot, video game protagonist, main character for your indie film, and many more! I am proficient in multiple different art programs, including Adobe Suite, Toon Boom Harmony, TVPaint, PaintoolSAI and many others. Not only that, I am willing to adapt and learn new programs relatively quickly, allowing me to be very flexible and versatile with a variety of different projects. If all these traits sound appealing to you, take a look at some of my work below and see if it's just the right artistic touch your project needs!
