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.

Excited to announce Buzzkill is playing this Friday 8/30 at the Camp Horror Film Festival in Missoula, Montana!

Specializing in campy horror films from both past and present, this festival also packages itself as a classic summer camp experience! Activities include a s’mores party, ghost story readings, a horror trivia event and special 35MM screenings of the ultimate cult flicks: Rocky Horror and Hausu!

PSA: I’ve heard the notorious “Sack Lunch Slasher” is still on the loose stalking campers!? Beware!
