I thrive at the intersection of creative art and technology, telling stories and polishing pixels.
My career has led me to work with a diversity of studios and clients. I got started in animation, but over 10 years I've owned creative work from inception to final delivery. My experience is intentionally broad, giving me a holistic perspective on any project I dive into.
I currently work as the Studio Lead at Gupta Media, contributing design, art direction, and leadership.
When I'm not working, I love to play the drums, ride my bike around Boston, plan sewing projects I never finish, and explore the great outdoors.

Here are some details about my career:
I started my career at Pixar Animation Studios as a Technical Director in the Rendering Department for two years. I worked on award winning features and shorts, met some great people, and got to experience the great state of California. I helped build and maintain tools, optimize for render times, fix artifacts, and so much more.
Seeking a greater balance between the creative and the technical, I pivoted to motion graphics. I was hired as a staff Motion Graphics Artist role at HangarFour Creative. I was the sole mgfx artist on the team, and led all animation projects in collaboration with static design and the video production team.
I departed HangarFour to move to Spain and embark on a freelance career.
I worked with Snapchat, Blunt Action, Sparkworks Media, Atomic Kid Studios, Boston Medical Center, Security in Context, and many more. Tons of different projects, scopes and roles. My freelancing era spanned 4 years before agency life beckoned me back in 2024.
I joined Gupta Media as a Senior Motion Designer and went full steam ahead in the world of marketing.
A year later, I was promoted to Studio Lead. In addition to design and creative work, I help our design director manage our 6 person Studio team. We recently won a Hatch Award for our multiplatform Exhibit C campaign.
