I am a Character Development Specialist living in New York.

Born and raised in South Africa, I moved to the US to pursue my life long dream of working on Feature Animated films.

I have worked on both the East and West coast. Starting out in the commercial industry I worked at small boutiques, and then made the move into the game industry, working at Naughty Dog on Uncharted Drakes Fortune. From there I made the move into Feature Animation at Blue Sky Studios. There I worked on films like Horton Hears a Who, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Rio, epic, Ice Age:Continental Drift, Rio2, and Peanuts. As a Character Development Supervisor, working with the Art Director, Heads of Animation, Modeling and Rigging, I supervised the look of all Characters. I had the opportunity to be a part of the Oscar winning team that worked on Big Hero 6 for Walt Disney Animation.

I am looking to offer my extensive skill set to help other artists create appealing characters from conception to final render.
