About

I've been working for over 17 years in the Film and TV Animation industry as a Texture/Surfacing Artist.
I have worked on feature films such as Shrek 4, Puss in Boots, Rise of the Guardians, How to Train Your Dragon 2, and Boss Baby for Dreamworks Animation. I did a number of dvd shorts and worked a few different TV shows for Dreamworks TV. At Nickelodeon I worked on 2 TV films such as Albert and Lucky. As well as an unreleased series based on the Wonder Park feature. Most recently I've been leading the Texture Department in bringing the world of Spongebob to CG life in Kamp Koral.
