animation reel 2026 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

In the past year, I’ve worked with caricatures of women, creatures, and water to explore certain social and gender issues, as well as expressing moments of quiet intimacy and self-reflection.

I’ve also been wearing the 2D, 3D, and installation hats 👒 I would love to take on more interesting animation projects!

Also life update: I’m transferring to CalArts Experimental Animation MFA in the fall 🙂 by @bullwarts

Trailer for my film “My Beautiful Tiger”

A 3:30 min experimental narrative film made of ink, paper, women, and tigers.

As a young child paints a tiger into a woman,
he comes to understand more about himself and the intricate performance of femininity.

Super thanks to @ryangundersonmusic for the beautiful music and @gregdrawsitall for advising! Thank you @sofafilmsproductions for the light table 🥹

Thanks and rip @uscexpandedanimation

cycles

Exploring the relationship between the organic and inorganic; man-made effects on life cycles. Metal wire, plastic wrap, green onions, light diffusion. Inspired by realizing how easy it is to grow green onions recently!
