Experience

Senior 2D Character Rigger
I am a 2D character rigger in Toon Boom Harmony. We are rigging high end character rigs for a brand new TV series for a major platform. I also conduct training and review work when required
-
Assistant Director and Scene Prep Supervisor
I was Assistant Director and Scene Prep Supervisor on 2 seasons of a brand new show for a major streaming service, hopefully due to air in summer 2024. The show was extremely high quality. It was a Dog Ears/Cartoon Saloon collaboration. My role required me to work across multiple teams in both studios to ensure the Director and Art Director's vision was being met by the teams. I also worked very closely with the Technical Director to iron out pipeline issues.
