Animation has always been more than just a profession for me — it's a passion that has shaped both my career and my life.

As a character animator in the visual effects industry, I've had the privilege of collaborating with incredible artists and filmmakers. My time at Tippett Studio had a profound impact on me. While my primary role there focused on digital character and creature performance, I was fortunate to work on productions like MAD GOD — a project that allowed me to explore the world of stop motion and physical filmmaking.

In addition to my production experience, I bring years of teaching and lecturing experience from institutions in California, including the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California College of the Arts, and San Francisco State University.

Here, I’ll share my reflections on working in film and the art of animation.

Working at Tippett Studio expanded my understanding of
the craft in ways I never imagined.
