Professional Summary
Art Director and Model Maker specializing in miniatures and stop-motion Animation. Starting as a model maker on commercials in 2011, I've worked on various projects, including animated and Live-action TV series, promos, idents, online content, editorials, short films, TV pilots, proof of concepts, editorials, pitches, retail installations, and window displays. I am a highly motivated, friendly, hardworking team player with experience working independently. The joy of turning ideas into tangible objects is a thrill that never gets old.
