Artist Bio
I’m an animation brainiac who writes and produces award-winning films, with experience across the children’s TV pipeline—including rigging, technical direction, storyboarding, and freelance design—and a knack for coding tools that streamline the animation process. My jack-of-all-trades, master-of-fun approach extends to experimental 3D design using VR sculpting and Blender, supported by musicians, indie organizations, and residencies like TAIS. I’m also the founder of Hijinx World: The Human Creativity Magazine, a weirdo-core publication that champions unconventional storytellers and aims to jolt audiences out of creative repression with raw, inspiring work.
