With a distinguished background in animation and executive production, I bring a steadfast commitment to meticulous planning and collaborative teamwork to every project. As an Executive Producer and Producer, I've cultivated strong relationships with clients both domestically and internationally, collaborating with industry giants such as Netflix Games (undisclosed projects), Warner (CW's "Superman & Lois"), Skydance (Spellbound), and Netflix Original series "Legend Quest." Notably, I've successfully navigated the complexities of delivering animated feature films, including two 3D feature films, three TV series incorporating VFX and 2D animation, and two short films. My portfolio extends beyond entertainment, having collaborated with renowned brands such as Disney, Hot Wheels, Barbie, Fisher Price, Distroller, and Playmobil.
