About

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my site.


They all said – you gotta have a dream.
Well, when it comes to working in animation – I say; you gotta make that Reel.

Ah, yes.
The obligatory, cringe-inducing, very animation-y pun to start off. Really, what other way was there to go. . . 😐

OK, moving swiftly on. . .

  • Animate & Design (traditionally and in CGI),
  • Write for Television and Film (and any media in-between),
