2D Animation
With over 14 years of experience in character animation, storyboarding, and motion graphics, I have built a career transforming concepts into dynamic, visually engaging content. As a Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) graduate and a business owner in the creative field, I bring both technical expertise and a deep understanding of storytelling to every project.
As Co-Owner & Creative Director at BrainVessel Branding & Art Gallery, I led animation projects from concept to completion, collaborating with clients to design characters, develop animated marketing materials, and create compelling motion graphics. My proficiency in Adobe Animate, After Effects, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro has allowed me to produce animations for games, advertising, and brand storytelling. Additionally, my work at andCulture and Gotta Pea, Inc. strengthened my skills in 2D sprite animation, game asset creation, and multimedia design.

Don’t Be a Weasel
Don’t Be a Weasel is a marketing campaign BrainVessel developed for the Pennsylvania IFPA (Insurance Fraud Prevention Agency). We created Weasy the weasel as a cartoon character, later turned into a live action character as well with a full body Weasy costume. The concept is to show a bad ‘weasily’ type character who is always trying to commit insurance fraud but gets caught in the end. This was geared toward teaching a younger demographic about the dangers of committing insurance fraud.
I was responsible for creating and developing the characters, storyboarding, marketing, and animation of short films. I also directed and edited the live actions shorts as well.
Gotta Pea was a children’s property focused around a group of pea characters living in a junkyard. The goal was to create several mobile games tied in with toys and plush characters and eventually the development of a cartoon. We published one mobile app game, Peakour with several others in development, in addition to short films, board games, toy designs, and storybooks.
I was responsible for streamlining the character designs and producing all visual assets and animations for games and anywhere Gotta Pea was represented. I also contributed to the game design of Peakour and Pea in the Pool.
