Bio

I am a graduate of Columbia College Chicago with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Film and Video. My concentration was in traditional animation. I also have an Associate of Applied Science degree in Graphic Design.

While at Columbia College, I had the opportunity to independently and collaboratively produce short animated and live action films. I am proficient in After Effects and Flash and familiar with Cinema 4D and the 3D animation process. I am highly skilled in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. For many years I have used Final Cut Pro to edit my films. My experience also includes concept art and story development. I am adept with stop motion animation and have working knowledge of experimental animation, including sand, paint on glass, and pixilation.

I spent over three and a half year in the advertising department of a nation wide building company and have also freelanced with numerous clients including Converse Marketing, Caterpillar Inc., Morton Buildings, Epipheo Studios, RoboDynamics, Geni and Firedog.
