I’m a recent college graduate with a B.A. in Media Studies (Film/Video Production) from Scripps College in Claremont, CA. As a visual artist I like to work primarily in stop-motion, claymation, and puppetry but am always trying to build my skills in new mediums. I’m a huge nerd for practical effects and crazy creatures from David Cronenberg’s body horror to Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. I think that one of the most truly magical aspects of filmmaking is the handcrafting of the fantastic whether it’s through stop-motion, puppetry, hand-drawn animation, or any other practical medium.
