Objective

I am a highly skilled storyboard artist and digital painter with experience in both 2D and 3D design and I have a solid grasp of previs

and camera animation in Maya. I'm also well versed in After Effects, using it both to create animated storyboards (animatics) and

for post and compositing tasks. I'm interested in work where I can use my full range of artistic and computer skills to creatively solve problems

and meet new challenges.
