Versatile award winning animator experienced in many software tools and work-flows. Have personal interest in and knowledge of open source animation programs, pipeline integration, and execution. Have extensive experience with non-photorealistic rendering of textures and edge lines lines in Maya and Blender. Comfortable and experienced animating in Linux, OSX, or Windows computer environments. While I have an intensely unique vision, style, and workflow in my personal work, I am dedicated to fostering the workflow, vision, and style that is required when working with other people's concepts. Aside from software experience, I come from a traditional fine arts background with a BFA from The Kansas City Art Institute. I began with a foundation of drawing, first majored as a sculptor, but eventually followed my love for motion arts. In the animation department I gained experience and skills in many applications of movement, from hand drawn, stop-motion, cutout, and 3D. While I am most experienced in the 3D arena, I am not partial to 3D animation over any other style. In fact, I would very much like more opportunity to work with cut-out and stop motion animation.
