Freelance Animator; Compositor at Bent Image Lab
Eugene, Oregon Area
My primary interests are in artistic expression and visual storytelling through illustration, video, and animation. In the pursuit of these interests I have developed an enthusiasm and proficiency as a designer, and have gained experience in more abstract and interactive forms of storytelling and communication. I have gravitated more heavily toward animation in recent years due to its flexibility as a medium and because it is a fusion of my
interests in visual and aural media.
