I'm a highly driven designer with a unique perspective and 10 years of experience leading multidisciplinary teams.

On the way I've contributed to over 20 movies, 8 games and 10 books currently out in the world, not to mention projects still under wraps. I'm passionate about sharing what I know about the craft and have had the opportunity to do so in 4 countries, 6 schools as well as countless design firms and animation studios.

My own time is devoted to brewing the perfect cup of coffee, reading, and illustrating award winning children's books.
