Raccoons. Some might call them Rabies-infested mongrels who raid the neighbor's week-old produce, but I say different. They're fascinating, independent seekers - even if only for the grub. They're meager, adventurous, and curious to a fault. They're also quite creative and resourceful, as you may have discovered by the presents they leave on the front porch.

I consider myself a bit like the raccoon (minus the fur and claws): curious, resourceful, and passionately obsessive in my artistic endeavors. And, like the raccoon, creativity is my chief asset. I see the world through the lens of aesthetics, narrative, and imagination.

And also like your friendly neighborhood black-eyed bandit, I am relentless in the pursuit and exploration of my chosen profession: art in film.

All campy metaphors aside, my aim, through artistic creation, is to comfort, inspire, enhance, and engage the lives of my audience and the global community we all share.

My work spans illustration, concept design, visual development, screenwriting, storyboard art, and the world of animation. I currently study fine arts and multimedia design under a digital arts focus at Pepperdine University.

As a freelance illustrator, I've completed over fifteen private and public commissions, ranging from a 25-piece illustration series to traditional oil paintings on canvas.

Looking forward, I strive to someday create animated features that express a heightened range of artistic skill and cinematic pathos, urging audiences to dream big, look within, and live as the raccoons do: with scrappy perseverance, and a boundless curiosity that, as dear Walt once said, keeps us moving forward.
