About Me
"Independent as well as a team player, her goal is to specialize in 2D FX. She is experienced in using Harmony for traditional and rigged animation, and does 2D rigging as a secondary interest as well as creature design in her free time. She enjoys the puzzle-solving of building the more technical parts of a project."
I am an Animator/Generalist who has recently worked at Crooked City Studios, as well as a graduate from Max the Mutt College of Animation, Art & Design, looking to
begin my career specializing in 2D FX animation.
I have worked both independently and as part of a team on multiple projects. I have many experiences working in traditional 2D as well as rigged harmony animation. Most recently, working an hand drawn character animation and 2DFX on various studio projects. I have a secondary interest in VFX and in rigging. Primarily in 2D, rigging characters in the past for class projects and continuing to improve in my free time.
