Personal Projects
A collection of my personal projects across various media, including animation, digital and film photography, interactive media, and traditional media.
Composting Web Game
As someone who has always been passionate about sustainability, I wanted to create a fun game that would help people learn how to sort their waste between trash, recycling, and compost. Interactive media is a powerful teaching tool as users get to learn in a hands-on and iterative manner.
I partnered with my friend and long time creative collaborator Andrew Hinton and together we designed and wrote this game in HTML and JavaScript, and I illustrated all of the graphics.

Dreams
This animation is one of my favorite personal projects. Dreams was an art school assignment with the prompt of an “animated self portrait.”
I found a collection of my childhood artwork and scanned them into Photoshop. After splicing them to prepare them for animation, I imported them into After Effects to rig and animate.
Directed, Animated, Filmed, and Edited by me.
Music written and recorded in collaboration with Andrew Hinton.
Visual Effects Reel
I got my start in filmmaking and animation as a visual effects artist. Visual and Practical Effects have always fascinated me by their ability to create the impossible. Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to work on visual effects for many short films and web series. This is a collection of some of my favorites.
