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.

Announcing our acceptance at the Nitehawk Shorts Festival!!

I have a lot of love and admiration for the Brooklyn based, dine-in Nitehawk cinemas and couldn't be more psyched to be a part of their annual fest, now in its 10th year!

Buzzkill is screening with the Midnite Shorts on Thursday March 2nd at 9:30pm. Late night fare at a reasonable time? Dig it.

And look, if you’re in NYC and you’ve never been to Nitehawk, I mean, what’s up. Their hospitality (and food) is great and they have the coolest programming of cult/classic/new films and special screenings. Go check it out, they’re a blast!
