Barbie: A Touch of Magic
Art Director
As the Art Director on Barbie: A Touch of Magic, I managed a core design team for character, location, FX, color script and DMP, and oversaw the series' visual identity through modeling, surfacing, groom, and FX.
Our goal was to push the playfulness already present in the Barbie universe while injecting whimsical elements to the feminine designs we know and love. Keeping a close eye on fun fashion and bright colours as they were converted from toy to animation.

Pretzel and The Puppies
Designer
As a Designer on Pretzel and The Puppies, I produced work for characters, props, location designs and occasionally color scripts and skydomes.
Pretzel and the Puppies had a unique visual style where our directors wanted to homage stop motion animation in the set designs.

Paw Patrol
Designer
As a Designer on Paw Patrol, I worked predominantly on character and prop designs, while occasionally helping out on locations.
Paw Patrol was my first design role in animation, and I quickly cut my teeth there, helping the team utilize 3D (I was previously a 3D layout artist), and shortly afterward, I became the teams matte painting artist, on top of my character and prop work, Consulting with the CG supervisors for all of Paw's DMP needs on every episode.
