"Drawing is a battle - 

The paper resists. The pencil resists. Your hand trembles. And in that fight something honest is born..."

I am an independent character animator with a passion for illustration and storytelling. 

My love for animation extends beyond the aesthetic aspect of visual work. The most magical part of being an animator is when after hours of drawing, I finally press play. Having the ability to see my characters to come alive on my screen is far more satisfying than any award I could possibly achieve. 

 

In tandem, connection to my community is something I hold very close to my practice, working closely with my peers as well as my audience. As a creative I find my ability to tell my own stories important to me, but supporting others with their stories they want to tell takes precedent. I have found in my years as an independent artist that many people want to head projects, but not many want to support them. 

I want to be that support. I am that support. 

I take on a lot of volunteer projects with other aspiring animators. I don't mind volunteering my time to contribute to a project, and look forward to doing so.

Storytelling and animation are not just a means to an end for me, the process of creating something worthwhile brings me so much joy. I find happiness in my process, not just the end result. 

"... I don't want smoothness. I want the mark of a human being who was there... who felt something."

Hayao Miyazaki
