I have worked in the industry for over a decade. I focus on the development of systems to help streamline the animation process. These processes help to solve animation issues and achieve performances to tell stories as clearly and effectively as possible. I have developed a variety of rig setups ranging from extremely complex to fast and streamlined. I have directed multiple episodes for television and worked across departments throughout the entirety of production.

I would describe myself as a person who loves meeting new people, and enjoying all things related to art and animation! When I first discovered 2D Puppet Animation/Cut-Out animation, it was love at first sight — or rather, love at first rig! Rigging and Directing are my favorite parts of the animation process. Whether it's crafting a movable character/object from a completely static image, or directing an animated production, both are extremely rewarding experiences in which I'm improving upon daily. It's for these reasons that I aspire to be a Director and/or Technical Rigging Supervisor post-university!
