My work has taken many forms over the years – Animator, Designer, Illustrator and now, where I find myself, as a Producer. Whereas in earlier years my main focus was on telling my stories, I now assist Directors and teams in realizing their stories to their fullest potential. This made for a clear segue to teaching – where I can assist a new generation of minds in identifying their goals and realizing their potential.
If I had to pick a mantra, it would be “Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one.” I encourage myself, my peers, and my students to follow their passion and stay open to where it may bring them. To quote Wayne White, “Do what you love. It’s gonna lead you where you want to go.”
