My path to becoming a multidisciplinary designer and animator wasn't traditional. My background is rooted in biology, having spent years working in medical and behavioral health fields. This clinical experience deeply shaped how I observe the world. It taught me to look closely at how people interact with physical and emotional spaces, a perspective that directly shapes how I approach design and motion today.

"The best idea in the world is worthless if it stays in your head."

Areas of Expertise

I'm all about collaborating to bring ideas to life, handling everything from the initial creative direction down to the exact way the final visuals look and feel.
