{Seeking...}
Currently seeking full or part-time employment in an animation studio or related project/company. Although my fulltime freelancing gig affords me the freedom to work on a variety of different projects, presently I am more interested in working on projects collaboratively in an environment where I can continue to learn and utilize my range of talents and abilities.
