I relocated to the UK in 2019 to pursue my goals of working in the animation industry abroad. I'm an experienced animation professional, motivated to advance my career in all aspects of production and directing. Currently I'm in the production trenches at Sun & Moon, producing and managing various content at the studio.

In 2021, I directed Sun & Moon's Christmas short TIMELESS GIFTS. My new short film PASSENGER was commissioned by Ffilm Cymru, BBC Wales, and BFI Network Wales in 2022. The film is due to wrap Spring 2024: http://www.ffilmcymruwales.com/index.php/news-and-events/new-short-films-wales-spark-production-through-beacons-scheme

I've just finished producing SPECTRE OF THE BEAR, commissioned by Ffilm Cymru’s Beacons short film scheme, which is now making the festival circuit. I'm also producing Laura Tofarides' stop motion short YMENYDD and Sivan Raphaely's 2D animated film THE SMELL OF CHICKEN, both due to complete this year.

Additionally, I'm working with Josh Hicks, the director of SPECTRE OF THE BEAR, in bringing his hilarious comic GLORIOUS WRESTLING ALLIANCE to life through funding with Creative Wales. We recently secured additional funding from Creative Wales as part of their new Young Content Fund to create a proof of concept trailer for FRESHLY SERVED, an exciting new anime-inspired project based on Josh's comic of the same name: https://media.service.gov.wales/news/new-funding-for-wales-based-companies-to-develop-bilingual-content-for-young-audiences

Before moving across the pond I was a Production Coordinator at DreamWorks Animation TV, working on THE EPIC TALES OF CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS for Netflix. Previously I was at Renegade Animation, where I was a Coordinator on THE TOM AND JERRY SHOW.
