I am interested in creating dynamic characters and relationships and exploring the borders between colors and shapes. I grew up in a
family of artists in Los Angeles and spent an inordinate amount of time drawing characters while watching them on TV. Drawing was (and still is) my solace. I became equally obsessed with music and dance studying and performing with dancers including Bella Lewitzky and composers and musicians including Anthony Braxton, Leo Smith, and the original Art Ensemble of Chicago. I began freelancing as an illustrator while in elementary school and making animated films while in junior high school. I worked as an assistant art director while in high school and went on to earn both a BFA and MFA in film at California Institute of the Arts. As technology improved and developed, I went to work for companies ranging from Apple and Sun to EDS and Medicus in usability engineering and human computer interaction design and produced the very first animated film made entirely on a Macintosh computer. |
