Born & raised Oakland

Working in Oakland, CA

I am a freelance artist and storyteller passionate about bringing imaginative worlds to life through both animation and live-action filmmaking. My work blends anime-inspired aesthetics with Western art styles, aiming to create visually compelling stories that are accessible and engaging for diverse audiences. I specialize in character concept art, developing unique designs that reflect personality, emotion, and narrative depth. Beyond visual art, I write and direct short films and shows, exploring compelling stories that combine creativity, humor, and heartfelt moments. My goal is to contribute to the animation and film industry while also producing original indie projects that push creative boundaries and inspire audiences around the world.
