There's only ever been two things that have kept my interest - animals & animation. Lucky for me, more often than not these two things go hand in hand. My ever growing menagerie of misfits has been a constant source of inspiration for stories and characters. I attribute the trajectory of my life and career on both the animals I've shared my life with and the brilliant shows I grew up with and still today watch and love.
Character and prop design is my specialty, given the assortment of original characters that make themselves at home in my portfolio. I’m happiest when I’m conjuring up the
look of a certain character that’s been bouncing off the walls of my skull for God knows how long. That moment when you look at the finished sketch and think “there we go!
That’s exactly him/her!”
For a series to be successful is not to the credit of a single genius, but rather a bunch of creative visionaries who worked tirelessly to tell a story in the most effective way possible. Being sucked into the gorgeous chaos of a bunch of like-minded people scrambling to come up with the best, the funniest, the most touching way of telling a compelling story has been a gorgeous reality to find myself in.
