hello!

Hello! I am an Asian American Art Director and Visual Development Artist based in Los Angeles with 15 years of comprehensive experience in both 2D and CG animation. I am passionate about visual storytelling and am known for my ability to work in a diverse range of styles.

My skill set spans across development, design, light and color theory, post, and 3D modeling allowing me to take a wholistic approach on every project. I have extensive experience working with Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketchup and some Blender to create compelling environments and layered world building. Prior to my transition to animation, I earned a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Pennsylvania State University and accrued valuable building experience as an architect adding to my informed approach to design. 

Notably, I recently spearheaded the creative direction of seven pilots as part of the Nickelodeon Development Shorts Program resulting in Rock Paper Scissors and Wylde Pak receiving green light to series. I was also honored as one of Variety Magazine’s 10 Animators to Watch in 2020.

Presently, I serve as a Visual Development artist at Sony Pictures Animation. Previous employers include Netflix, Nickelodeon, Disney, Cartoon Network, Dreamworks and Warner Brothers Animation.
