About

I'm a 2D Animator with a BFA in Animation. I'm working full time as Animation Manager at my current studio, but I am always looking for more collaboration opportunities! I love evoking feelings in others through my work, and it’s more fun when you can create something alongside someone else. I specialize in character animation, but am always open to trying something new.

I love cartoons and anime - both geared towards children and adults. Talk to me about Miraculous Ladybug or Bojack Horseman, or anything in between - you can’t pick a wrong answer. When I’m not drawing, I’m usually spending my time playing video games. Right now I’m specifically into Kingdom Hearts, Overwatch, and Phasmophobia. I never left my Sonic the Hedgehog phase. Know that before you meet me - I have no shame.

Above everything else, I am the mom of my Shih Tzu, Frankie, and cat, Todd. My boys are my life, and when I’m not working, I will be sharing photos of them constantly. They will inevitably have things to say in virtual meetings.
