Welcome to my portfolio! Unfortunately, many of the projects I’ve worked on since 2019 have not been released yet. For additional samples, please see my private portfolio!
If you’re curious, you can also find some of my older Gravity Falls storyboards here!

STAR VS. THE FORCES OF EVIL – POSTERS
Some posters I used to post on social media before each new episode aired! I had to stop once I started directing because I got too busy (and I couldn’t keep up with the episode drops). I bet you can’t guess who my favorite character is.
Finally, I’ve kept up my old student portfolios, last updated the year after I graduated from Calarts. They are no longer representative of my work, but they follow a pretty classic format for entry-level portfolios, so they may be useful for reference!
