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.

More Buzzkill news!

I’m trying to limit these posts to once a week so as not to bombard, but buckle up because we have many exciting updates on the way!

Today I’m announcing our European premiere at the 16th annual MOTELX: Lisbon International Horror Film Festival!! A massive, lively genre celebration in the heart of Portugal, it features a week-long wealth of impressive programs, promotions and special events. We’re thrilled to be a part of this year’s fantastic mix of films!

In addition, Buzzkill was invited to participate in their “MOTELX On Tour” catalogue, a national and international spotlight of select films taking place across cities like Paris, London, Såo Paulo and more throughout the coming year!
