01 / About

Bay Area native, now based in Los Angeles. Self taught artist and been drawing for as long as I can remember. SpongeBob was my favorite show growing up and was the reason I wanted to become an animator. It never failed to make me laugh and now I'd like to the same with storytelling. I focus on digital character design, 2D and 3D animation, and the occasional illustration.

Currently studying for my bachelors in animation at Cal State LA. I lean toward simple shapes and a quieter style, my inspiration stems from American cartoons, low poly video game characters, and my favorite songs playing in the background.

Flower Kid is a versatile character I've practiced drawing in a few different styles, the middle one sits closest to his original design. His story is still taking shape, but he was born out of sketches I made through anxious moments. I'm very excited to see where his story leads to.

Digital sketches of character sheets, expressions, and finished product with a side of short animatics.

A couple of clips from different short films I've worked on. Still hunting down the full thing, here are just snippets for now.
