With 20 years of experience as a character and creature animator, I have contributed to some of the industry's most iconic films, including Disney's The Jungle Book, for which our team won the Academy Award (Best Visual Effects).
I help you tell your stories through the art and craft of Animation -
from blocking to final.
I animate Characters & Creatures for Film, TV and Advertising
ranging from stylized to hyper-realistic.
Some shows I worked on
With over two decades in the animation industry, I’ve had the opportunity to bring characters and creatures to life spanning film, episodic television and advertising.
My work has taken me across England, Canada, and the U.S., collaborating with studios such as Sony Pictures, Framestore, and MPC.
I’ve contributed to projects like Hotel Transylvania, The Jungle Book, Avengers: Infinity War, and Prehistoric Planet, focusing on both VFX and feature animation.
Now based in Berlin, I am available as a freelancer for a wide range of creative projects, whether on-site in Berlin or remotely.
In addition to animation, I provide previs services, helping shape compelling stories through dynamic camera work and character blocking.
