Summary

I am an Art Director, Production Designer, and Concept and Set Designer working in film, animated film, TV mini series and pitch productions.

I began my career as a fine artist and moved into animation after many years of exhibiting my artwork worldwide and teaching masterclasses in traditional media. In animation my 2D and sculpting skills easily adapted into digital media and now my major interests also include 3D set design, lookdev/surfacing problem solving and investigating new and exciting LRC techniques to bring my stylistic versatility to every type of visual storytelling. I’ve worked for clients such as Netflix Feature Animation, Warner Brothers, DC Studios, and Hasbro Feature Films.

My biggest passion lies in developing unique IP from the ground up. Don’t hesitate to reach out and tell me all about your project!
