CREATIVE STATEMENT
Over a decade ago I started playing around in AfterEffects to get my illustrations to move and I haven't stopped since. What started out as a hobby, quickly turned into a job for colleges and businesses in Massachusetts and beyond. Years later, I am still finding joy and satisfaction in bringing brands to life through playful and fun animations. I look forward to engaging wider audiences and sparking more joy through my animations in the future.

Q&A
What makes an animation successful?
Timing is key in animation. With the right sense of timing, it's possible to convey playfulness and humor even in the shortest time frame.
What is your favorite animated film?
Persepolis. It is a serious story told beautifully.
What really brings an animation to life?
A sense of humor and playfulness make a big difference. While a still image can show a concept, an animation can tell an entire story.
