Directing color across a season of television means holding a visual system consistent across hundreds of artists, shots, and episodes, and building the pipeline that makes that possible. Moving into design and UX/UI, I carried that same instinct with me: think in systems first, build the pipeline that lets a team execute consistently, then design within it.

Film | TV Animation
Nearly 17 years in television and feature animation, from background painter to color director to art director, shaped the way I think about design today. Leading color and art direction across productions at Nickelodeon, Jim Henson, Spümcø, and others taught me how to build pipelines and organize teams around a consistent visual system, thinking I still bring to every design and UX/UI project.
