Animation & Technical Animation Director / Lead

I build high-performance animation teams and the scalable systems that allow them to thrive.

With 15+ years across AAA, AA, and indie PC/console, I operate at the intersection of hands-on animation craft, technical architecture, and creative direction — shaping both the performance on screen and the production ecosystems behind it.

I remain actively hands-on while designing real-time pipelines, technical animation systems, and department structures that elevate quality, empower collaboration, and scale sustainably. I am driven by solving complex production challenges and aligning animation, engineering, and design into cohesive, high-performing teams.

What differentiates my leadership is a rare combination: technical mastery, creative vision, and an unwavering commitment to empowering people. I elevate teams, craft, and pipelines — and in doing so, I help studios reach their full potential.

I am passionate about this craft, the teams I have the privilege to lead, and the long-term impact strong leadership can have on a studio’s culture and output.
