specifics
Background as both game designer and (animation) filmmaker. Due to my game design background, I master many different techniques, both in form and in software, and I have a wide range of interests. In addition, it has taught me to put the user, or in terms of animation, the viewer, at the center. I have experience creating stories for children within games and find that when I do the same for animation, I am much more responsive to the child's attention.
