Character Design
About me
A passion for drawing, animation, and animals, you can find me and my sketchbook wandering around the LA Zoo. I sip my vanilla latte while sketching out my favorite mammals, imagining how each creature would have their own personality as an animated character. I often apply my drawing skills to help raise money for wildlife protection programs, such as WWF and Rainforest Trust!
I knew ever since I was a kid that I wanted to be an animator. This was an unusual occupation for a child living in a small town in Northern Washington! Once I graduated high school, I moved to the sunny Golden State, California. I received my BFA in animation from Woodbury University and have been creating animated films and character designs since!
