I am a Los Angeles based artist with 8+ years experience in the animation industry where I specialize in character design and visual development.  I am currently Assistant Art Director on an upcoming Disney Jr Show. I was formerly Assistant Art Director on Mira Royal Detective as well as Design Supervisor on Miles From Tomorrowland. I love projects that highlight diversity and representation, strong characters, and rich world-building.

Outside of animation, I am a traditional gouache painter, and I co-run a plein-air painting group called the Warrior Painters that has grown into a global online art community with over 5K members. I’m also an art instructor, and I’ve taught gouache painting at Concept Design Academy and Color Concepts for Animation online.
