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.

Still buzzing from an awesome time at the Bushwick Film Festival! Met lots of amazing filmmakers, saw many inspiring films and enjoyed designing the 2026 fest poster and hosting/judging this year’s Animation Showcase. Seeing our screening sold out and the audience show up with so much love for animation was genuinely special.

Huge congrats to Anjali Pulim’s “Our Pockets Are Full” for taking home the Jury Award for Best Animated Short! 🏆 And a big thank you to everyone who helped make this program such a success.

Fingers crossed we get to do it all again next year. Here’s to more animation, more independent voices and more reasons to bring everyone together. Stay tuned! ✨
