I’ve been making cartoons professionally in LA since 2017! Since graduating from the USC School of Cinematic Arts, I’ve worked primarily as a storyboard artist at Nickelodeon, Warner Brothers, Bento Box, and PBS on shows including Teen Titans Go!, The Patrick Star Show, and Dinosaur Train. I’ve also directed several independent animated shorts and done the festival circuit. There’s nothing I love more than telling funny stories with other goofy, kind-hearted artists.

I’ve worked in all styles and formats and for all demographics: 2D, CG, and stop-motion; script- and board-driven; preschool, kids, and adults; TV and feature.

To give back to the artistic community, I serve as the Director of Programming on the board of the 501(c)(3) educational non-profit, Animation Resources, which mentors and provides resources for aspiring animators and artists.

When I’m not making cartoons, you can find me trying to make strangers laugh at comedy clubs and open mics around Los Angeles — or drinking water on the internet.
