About me
Hi! I'm a 2D animator and filmmaker based out of Brooklyn. My creative practice centers on comedic and heartwarming storytelling by way of whimsical hand-drawn animations. In June 2024, I graduated with a Masters of Fine Arts in Animation from DePaul University by completing and screening my thesis film, "Kid President."
My previous film, "Duet" (2021), has been screened at over 25 festivals, winning 4 awards along the way. Duet also screened at 1,500+ schools across 20 countries as part of the School Cinema International Film Festival 2022.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with his friends and family, cheering on the New York Yankees, and making music with his band, The Scary Part.
