BIO-
I’m a full-time storyboard artist and freelance character/toy designer. I’ve been in the industry for over 10 years. In that time I’ve had the opportunity to work on properties of some of my childhood favorites like Spider-Man, Scooby Doo, TMNT, Ghostbusters, and Sonic the Hedgehog. I’m always looking for new and exciting challenges and projects.
