Hello,

a bit about me:

Welcome to my website! I’m a 3D rigging artist with a love for facial rigging and a passion for bringing characters to life through expressive, dynamic movement. I focus on building efficient, flexible rigs and intuitive control systems that enhance character performance and emotional depth. My work blends technical precision with artistic sensitivity to ensure every motion feels natural, appealing, and grounded in character.

Outside of production, I’m committed to supporting the broader animation community. I lead our Women in Tech ERG, creating visibility, connection, and mentorship opportunities for women across departments. I’m also an active member of AOUSD, where I help guide outreach initiatives by working with schools, integrating USD into learning programs, and creating stronger entry pathways for emerging artists.

Within the studio itself, I’m dedicated to fostering inclusion, collaboration, and genuine community. I run our book club and stay deeply involved in team-building efforts, always working to make the rigging department a supportive, engaging, and fun environment to be part of. I believe strong teams create strong work—and I love bringing people together as much as I love bringing characters to life.

Explore my website to see how I combine creativity, community, and technical expertise to elevate the art of animation.
