Animation
I started working in gaming over 20 years ago when I walked into the doors of Vicarious Visions as a recent college graduate and asked for a job. I started as an intern and was hired as a full-time game artist within one week. From there, I became a lead artist and animator producing and designing games for Gameboy Advanced IP’s within 2 years. I had the opportunity to work with major IP’s like Spongebob, Powerpuff Girls, and was the producer and lead designer for The Muppets.
After graduating from Vancouver Film School I’ve worked as an animator for TV and movies, but I’ve spent most of my time working in gaming. I’ve worked for Microsoft and Sony on AAA first- and third-person shooter titles and my most recent experience has been as a freelance artist and animator for smaller studios and mobile game developers doing a wide variety of game and animation styles.
