My work

How long have you been drawing?

• I've been working professionally for 5+ years but I've been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil. 

Did you study art?

• Yes, I started out at Kennesaw State University focusing on graphic design and drawing/painting. Half way through college I transferred to the Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta and majored in Animation and minored in business management.

What type of animation do you do?

• I'm specialized in 2D animation - I've animated puppet-style using character rigs and I've done hand drawn, frame-by-frame animation. I normally work in short form (i.e. short films, animated bumps, explainer videos, etc).

What software/apps do you use for your digital work?

• For 2D animation I primarily use ToonBoom Harmony and Storyboard Pro along with video editing software like Adobe Premiere and After Effects. 
• For design work on my Cintiq + desktop, I primarily use Photoshop or Illustrator.
