I’ve always loved creating characters and the worlds they live in. Growing up in NYC, I was constantly inspired by the people around me. That joy of making is why I became an illustrator, and the desire to see those characters move and breathe is what led me to animation. As I lay the groundwork for my career, freelancing and developing my own projects, I’m building connections and continuing to embrace creativity with care and the persistence to see ideas through.
