Animation professional since 2004, specializing in 2D character and FX animation. John's professional experience has been a combination of library or rigged work as well as more traditional frame by frame animation. John is currently focusing on personal projects and teaching.

I am a 2D Animator & Storyboard artist. With a special interest in working with the deaf community and diverse groups to create animated content.

I would describe myself as a person who loves meeting new people, and enjoying all things related to art and animation! When I first discovered 2D Puppet Animation/Cut-Out animation, it was love at first sight — or rather, love at first rig! Rigging and Directing are my favorite parts of the animation process. Whether it's crafting a movable character/object from a completely static image, or directing an animated production, both are extremely rewarding experiences in which I'm improving upon daily. It's for these reasons that I aspire to be a Director and/or Technical Rigging Supervisor post-university!
