About Me
I’m a Lead Character Technical Director and filmmaker with 7+ years of experience at Pixar, working across character modeling, rigging, technical art, production leadership, and cross-functional animation workflows.
I’m especially drawn to the space where storytelling, character, and technology meet. Alongside my studio work, I’ve been exploring generative AI and emerging creative tools for filmmaking, with a focus on how new technology can support stronger creative control, character consistency, and professional production workflows.
My background also includes writing and directing Hamsa, a Student Academy Award-winning animated short, as well as speaking, mentoring, and contributing to creative and technical communities across animation.
Outside of work, I’m endlessly curious about language, culture, film, and the ways technology can expand how we tell stories.
