Hello there!
I’m a digital artist with 30 years of experience in graphic design, illustration, 2D/ 3D animation, storyboarding/animatics, and video/multimedia production.
I've been fortunate to be a recipient of multiple creative awards, including an Emmy (2011), Addy (2017, 2016, 2011, 2010, 2004), and Current TV VCAM (2010, 2009). 2015 was particularly exciting with opportunities to lead animation on segments of the show HitRECord: Season 2, an appearance on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and a win for Best Animation at the Star Wars Celebration's Fan Film Award. In 2019, I received a really cool acknowledgement for a film I did for Portland Design Week as Audience Favorite, where I actually screened the film in person with the audience; A bucket list item!
Currently, I work as an animator and as a high school graphic design and animation teacher in Southwest Washington. I have also taught fine arts, yearbook, and photography. In 2025, I was honored as the District Employee of the Year for my work in the classroom with students and as a promoter of club and social events for our upcoming artists. Before moving back to the Pacific Northwest (my original home), I was an art director for Santy Advertising and a freelance graphic designer in Phoenix, Arizona.
I’m always looking to work with people who are striving for a higher level of communication about their product, idea, event, or process. Reach out if you’d like to start a conversation about your next idea!
