Began working in 2014. Started as a 2D animator/rigger, then moved to 3D feature animation.

Animation has always been important to me. Due to my autism, I didn’t speak until age six, but I was drawing ever since I could pick up a pencil and taught myself stop motion.I founded DaniMation when I was fourteen, initially to produce my own animation series, but quickly found a niche by teaching animation to others with autism—becoming asocial entrepreneur, first in the US and now internationally in addition to my original goal of animation production. Professionally, I earned a BFA in animation and an MBA, and premiered 9 animated shorts at San Diego Comic-Con.

My experience in storyboarding has proved to be as challenging as it is rewarding. I mostly enjoy the collaboration with other creatives because it helps me grow as a storyteller, and the variety of projects I've been part of allows me to get in contact with stories that I’d have never considered on my own. In the end, one of the biggest highlights is to watch the finished product of something I boarded for, after all the input of the rest of the animation team. Seeing how other creative minds built from my foundation is very gratifying!
