Hello! I’m an award winning filmmaker, animator and illustrator based in Brooklyn, New York.

With over a decade of freelance experience, I’ve worked as a 2D animator and director for clients such as Pokémon, the NBA, 2 Chainz, Eminem & Snoop Dogg, Netflix, Showtime, Disney and the X-Games. In addition, my short films have played at a variety of prestigious festivals, illustrations have been both published and featured in prominent gallery exhibitions and I’ve served on several film festival juries.

Recently my film Buzzkill screened at over 60 festivals, winning 12 awards including Best Animated Short at Screamfest, Flicker's RIIFF Vortex, GenreBlast and Woodstock - the latter resulting in an Academy Award qualification. It’s now streaming on Alter and as a Vimeo Staff Pick.

These days I’m available for remote work from my home studio, which includes a large Cintiq, Adobe’s Creative Suite, a grumpy cat and all the necessary file sharing and communication tools.

Wow, well it’s been quite a while since I’ve posted here but I’ve been keeping myself super busy between commercial and personal work. I’m thrilled to announce that I finished animating my latest film Buzzkill in the late spring of 2021 and am currently wrapping all of it’s post production - woot!

Buzzkill is a 5 minute, 2D animated short that I’ve written, directed and animated independently over many, many months. I’m extremely proud of it and can’t wait to share more soon! It’s currently being submitted to festivals for an early 2022 premiere (fingers crossed!).

In the meantime, I’m sharing it’s new poster below and will be dropping the trailer on Friday 10/1. Hold onto your butts!
