Hello! I’m an award winning filmmaker, animator and illustrator based in Brooklyn, New York.

With 18 years of industry experience, I’ve freelanced as a 2D animator and director for clients such as Pokémon, the NBA, A$AP Rocky, Eminem & Snoop Dogg, Sony Pictures, Disney, Netflix and the X-Games. In addition, my short films have played at a variety of prestigious festivals, illustrations have been both published and featured in prominent gallery exhibitions and I currently curate and judge at several film festivals.

Recently my film Buzzkill screened at over 60 festivals, winning 12 awards, an Academy Award qualification and Vimeo Staff Pick. It was distribute nationwide by Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas, playing before every screening of Obsession. It’s now streaming on Screambox, Alter, BloodstreamTV. My new award-winning film Poppa is available now on Scrimshaw Animation and BloodstreamTV.

These days I’m available for remote work from my home studio, which includes a large Cintiq, Adobe’s Creative Suite, a grumpy cat and all the necessary file sharing and communication tools.

Announcing Buzzkill’s acceptance into the 24th annual Wiesbaden Intl. Animation Festival, happening 6/22/23 - 6/25/23!

This news is especially exciting because despite Buzzkill being a 2D animated film, our journey has been dominated by screenings at live-action festivals, alongside live-action films and we’ve often been an outlier in our medium compared to the rest of the programming.

It's been a pretty neat experience representing animation and sharing our unique production process with audiences and fellow filmmakers alike. But I'm so happy Buzzkill has this opportunity to partake in an event that’s dedicated to celebrating and appreciating an art form that I intimately know and love. Screening in a German castle no less!
