I am a freelance animator and designer specializing in educational narrative storytelling. I am originally from Iowa and currently living in Washington. I have been animating professionally for 6 years. Most of my work has involved 2D character animation and narrative storytelling, but I consider myself a generalist with other skills such as graphic design, motion graphics, and 3D animation. I have worked in the museum and higher education industries, animated and for musicians and podcasters, and designed graphics for museum exhibits. When working on all my projects I am motivated by a belief that images have the power to captivate, educate, and inspire.
