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.

Very humbled that Buzzkill picked up the “Best Short Animation” award at Woodstock ‘22, during a year where everything in our program was so incredibly outstanding!
Flattered to have been alongside such talented artists and storytellers, who’s beautiful films I truly admired!
Thank you to my film’s team of collaborators, the animation programmers/jury Joy Buran and Noelle Melody, the Woodstock Film Festival and the enthusiastic attendees for giving animators a platform to share films that spanned across such a wide array of remarkable techniques, styles and genres. Animation rules!!!
Finally congrats to the other festival winners and everyone who’s work was selected this year, everything I watched was amazing and I can’t wait to catch the rest online or at future fests!
