About

I'm a bit of a strange mix. Background in theatre, music, astrophysics and biology - I spent years looking for something that combined all of my varying interests and let me use them to create something new. As a character TD, I get to put the "guts" into characters that let them perform believably and, if done well, entertainingly.  It's a bit of an art form, a bit of a mad science, and a whole lot of fun when you get to see your creation finally come to life.

​

Although astrophysics, theatre, and biomechanics at first glance wouldn't seem to have much in common with animation, every bit of knowledge helps when building imaginary characters and imaginary worlds; even a virtual world is usually (at least loosely) based on real-world laws. And so one could say that even in the field of animation I still haven't left my love of science behind - it's still tremendously useful!

I'm currently studying at Brigham Young University and working as lead character rigger for the 2017 Senior Film TaiJitu, with the eventual goal of working at a feature-film studio as a character TD.
