I am an animation director at Practice Studios, a live-action/animation production company that creates content that connects people and brands in unexpected ways. I lead teams and oversee the creative direction, script writing, design and execution of projects for clients such as Xbox, HBO, Netflix, Sesame Workshop, and Food Network.As a writer, director, and animator, I have a passion for discovering and telling unique stories that blend comedy, whimsy, and heart. I have made award-winning short films and commercials, and also direct as part of the directing duo known as Practice. I am inspired by my upbringing in the woods of Oregon, where I learned meditation and Kyudo, and by my family, who constantly blow my mind. When I'm not making commercials, I'm usually working on a sci-fi film, riding bikes, or cooking something amazing. I believe the world is vast and every nook and cranny asks to be loved, and I strive to express that through my work.
