ABOUT
I began my career at Walt Disney Feature Animation, helping bring characters to life on Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Pocahontas, and Mulan. Since then, I’ve spent more than three decades directing and producing animation for film and television, including Elena of Avalor and Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures.
What I love most is finding the clearest, funniest, and most emotionally honest version of a story and helping creative teams bring it to the screen. Now I offer that same story sense and directing experience to creators, artists, and animation professionals developing their own work.
STORY FIRST.
ALWAYS.
