About
Senior Character Animator
I’m a Senior Animator with over 20 years of experience in 2D/3D animation and VFX for video games, commercials, and experimental projects. I’ve worked closely with creative teams to deliver high-quality visuals for brands like Coca-Cola, Barbie, and The Walking Dead.
I specialize in combat animation, locomotion, body mechanics, acting, facial animation, and solving technical challenges. I also have experience in lighting and compositing, which adds depth to my skills. Learning from mentors at studios like Pixar, DreamWorks, Blizzard, and Epic Games has motivated me to keep growing and improving as an artist.
