What kinds of projects do I do?

I specialize in turning concepts into expressive animation: from explainers and animation for documentaries and series to animated interviews, ads, music videos, and more. I make complex topics entertaining by bringing in humor, whimsical characters, a pinch of surrealism, and scenes packed with surprising details and easter eggs.

Who usually hires me?

I collaborate with agencies, animation studios, filmmakers, and brands. Sometimes I join an in-house creative team; other times I’m hired as a studio, bringing on my own team of animators and designers as needed for the size and scope of the project.
