More About Me
My multi-pronged practice comes from holding many roles in arts organizations alongside a steady studio practice. For fifteen years I was an arts educator in big and small museums and built my chops “wearing all the hats” of marketing, storytelling, and engaging audiences of all ages. From online game design to interpretive gallery activities and directing festivals—I’ve always had a passion for shaping content centered around the guiding goal or needs of the user/artist/storyteller.
Over the past few years, I’ve amassed skills in storyboarding, concept design, and 2D and 3D animating techniques that include both stop motion and digital approaches. Through my work with internet sensation Andrea Love, I’ve contributed to projects for high profile music videos, promotional projects for Laika, and European luxury fashion companies.
Put these things all in a blender and here I am - someone who loves working with other people and using art as a vehicle for change, meaning, and enjoyment. I write about moving throughout these different worlds here.
