Animation has always been important to me. Due to my autism, I didn’t speak until age six, but I was drawing ever since I could pick up a pencil and taught myself stop motion.I founded DaniMation when I was fourteen, initially to produce my own animation series, but quickly found a niche by teaching animation to others with autism—becoming asocial entrepreneur, first in the US and now internationally in addition to my original goal of animation production. Professionally, I earned a BFA in animation and an MBA, and premiered 9 animated shorts at San Diego Comic-Con.

I have about 5+ years of experience as a builds artist in the animation industry where I’ve had the opportunity to work on several large-scale productions such as, Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites and Paradise PD. I use my experiences to experiment with new techniques for building humanoid, alien and animal rigs that I create for people interested in getting into rigging.
