Here’s a few of my favorite moments from my work! Check out some of the full projects below!

Animation and Games

Primary Systems Down

My independent thesis project at the Maryland Institute College of Art. PSD is a short dungeon crawler where the player must avoid large alien insects by utilizing the systems on their damaged spacecraft.

Grandmother Spider Weaves the World

I worked with a minister at the UU church to produce this short story animation inspired by a Native American myth. They provided the audio, and I worked on all the visuals.

X-Ray Binary Stars

This animation was made as a collaboration with NASA as well as a few other students at MICA. The project was inspired by UPA cartoons from the 1950s. I was responsible for the concept, as well as all of the storyboarding and compositing
