As a director, art director and designer in the film industry I bring more than 10 years experience in

animation to every project. Highly skilled in drawing, painting and musical composition, my creative

goal is to bring an innovative insight to every project. Always on the cutting edge, my experience in

combining animation with live action began in 1994 when I directed and art directed THE

PAGEMASTER, and continued as I designed the 3D opening and interstitials for FANTASIA 2000 that

seamlessly weaved the animated sequences together. I feel my unique achievements in film and music

have garnered me the honors of being a voting member of both the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and

Sciences and the GRAMMYs/Recording Academy.
