A little more about me

I've directed and animated short films, produced podcasts, and written about film and animation. My writing includes research published by the Society of Animation Studies, a book chapter, and a collection of film reviews for Bunjil Place.

I've also produced video advertisements, edited and graded footage, created visual effects and motion graphics, and managed podcast production, both in-house and as a freelancer.
