ANIMATOR-ANIMATION SUPERVISOR
- I’ve done both traditional and CG animation, and I’m comfortable as both an animator and an animation supervisor. I’ve worked on a variety of feature films, short films, visual effects, and theme park animation, and I have extensive experience teaching animation. I have strong leadership skills, a passion for storytelling, and a commitment to continually improving.
