Summary

I specialize fight animation in an anime style, along with exaggerated character animation. I've worked 6 years in Blender developing my skills and improving my style and craft. The process of animating and bringing motion to life excites me and the process is what I enjoy the most about creating animation.

I have access to a Rokoko motion capture suit (Rokoko Smart Suit Pro II) With a dedicated router. I am able to record unique motion capture data, retarget it to a custom rig and thoroughly clean it up using Blenders NLA editor.

I currently run a volunteer studio called 6 Bird Studio as it's lead animator/creative director. I am passionate about 3D animation and I am willing to learn new skills, grow, and get better at my craft!
