In my imagination, I see my life and the world around me as a movie. Every day is filled with potential scenes waiting to unfold. As soon as I conceive a scene, it begins to move, breathe, and come to life. I see every detail clearly: the dialogue, the spaces between words, the rooms, and the atmosphere. Each element is intentionally crafted to create a complete and immersive experience.

I believe in the power of visualization. Every scene is a canvas where I paint with light, shadow, and movement. The dialogue is the heartbeat, but the moments in between are the soul. These in-between moments are where the true magic happens, where characters reveal their deepest emotions and the story finds its rhythm.

To stay true to my vision, I sketch key moments that anchor me. These drawings are not just sketches; they are the essence of my intentions. Whenever I revisit them, they pull me back into the world I am creating, reminding me of the emotions, the tension, and the beauty I aim to capture.

For me, storytelling is as much about what is seen as what is said. The rooms, the settings, and the visual cues are all integral to the narrative. They provide context, evoke emotions, and enhance the storytelling.

To create a visual language that speaks as powerfully as the dialogue has always been my intention.

When working in animation, I love to tell fantastical stories that feel possible right out of your front door. The medium allows me to be playful and imaginative. I think of each animated scene as a snapshot of recess, where we're full of imagination and wonder.

Wonder is what I try to capture in my work and share with the audience. There's so much wonder in the world, but it seems as if people walk right past it these days. Through animation, my intentions are to remind viewers of the magic and possibilities that surround us.

My philosophy is to create films that are not just watched but experienced. I craft stories that linger in the imagination of the audience, scenes that resonate, and moments that anchor both the characters and the viewers in a shared journey.

Whether through live-action or animation, my goal is to capture and share the wonder that makes life extraordinary.

Adventure Awaits...

with love + imagination
