 SUMMARY

3D animation is my passion.  There is nothing better than bringing a character to life.  From the most epic battle to the subtle walk, every animation can be a challenge, and I welcome it with open arms. With over 3 years of experience on multiple team oriented production pipelines which included hard deadlines;  I consistently deliver high quality 3D animation that incorporates the fundamentals of animation on schedule. I embrace the more technical side of the trade and incorporate new technologies and techniques that include critique adjustments. Animation is a creative challenge that I absolutely love.
