I am an animation filmmaker and illustrator based in Brooklyn, NY. My background includes a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and stints as an art director, graphic designer, animator and concept artist for broadcast, web, print, games and products for a wide variety of clients. I enjoy exploring and realizing the unique worlds that are possible in the realm of every project.
For larger or interactive projects, I work as Milky Elephant along with Karl Ackermann, and Mumbleboy. Depending on the size of the project, we also work with a great group of artists, musicians and programmers. Take a look at www.milkyelephant.com.
Lately, I’ve been obsessed with making ceramics.
