ABOUT

Interested in collaborating? Get in touch

I’m a freelance animator, writer, and video producer whose work is all about getting people engaged in learning—especially when it comes to eye-popping, informative, and entertaining explainers. I'm on the lookout for collaborations with organizations that that have real-world impact and who share my passion for education.

My work is largely science and technology focused. I recently directed, designed, and animated an explainer in collaboration with Science Media Studios and TED Ed that explores the importance of genetic diversity in clinical trials. I've written and directed artificial intelligence software demos for IBM, produced a video about the Turing test for Big Think, amongst many other incredible projects.

Back in the day I co-created the ACS/PBS Digital Studios YouTube series, ACS Reactions. I wrote and directed over 100 episodes, reaching audiences in the millions with fascinating topics that uncover the chemistry of our everyday lives including the science of avocados, why dogs smell each other’s butts, how pregnancy tests work, chemistry life-hacks, and much more.

I'm also super obsessed with travel, art, and culture, which inspired me to create and direct an upcoming travel documentary series called A Higher Art. The series takes a deep-dive into the art of religious ritual in South East and East Asia, exploring fascinating topics including ritual sacrifice, spiritual possession, and mummification.

Using a mix of eye-popping animation, powerful prose, and the clarity of my camera’s lens, I’m here to help organizations like yours give audiences something to talk, think, laugh, and get excited about. So, let's educate together.
