Animator, designer, and illustrator, combining creativity and strategy with expertise in digital art and visual storytelling.
Santa Clara, California, United States
A forward-thinking creative professional dedicated to transforming ideas into captivating visual experiences. With a strong foundation in animation, storytelling, and digital artistry, I specialize in blending traditional creative techniques with cutting-edge technologies. My expertise includes character animation, graphic design, illustration, visual effects, video editing, and web design. Also proficient in AI-driven audio/image/video generation—usually during ideation phase.
My career began humbly, balancing trade school studies with work at a small 2-color print shop. By the age of nineteen, I had earned my first business license and started offering freelance graphic design services. Early on, I recognized the need to expand my skills and understanding beyond independent work, which led me to pursue opportunities in both indie and corporate environments. I gained valuable experience through contract roles with notable companies like LeapFrog and Hewlett Packard, which paved the way for a significant role at Winster, an indie online game company. This experience opened doors to Electronic Arts, where I contributed to major titles such as Star Wars Battlefront, Battlefield 4, FIFA Soccer, Madden NFL, and The Sims, designing emails and banners for these globally recognized franchises.
My most transformative experience came during my seven-year tenure at Yahoo (through two name changes and four rebrands). There, I played a key role in delivering high-impact campaigns across various divisions, including Yahoo Sports, Finance, and News. I contributed to major initiatives such as the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting, NFL Livestream on Yahoo, DISRUPT, Paint the Stadium Purple at Levi's® Stadium, Yahoo Mail 7.0, and the $50K Tourney Pick'em. These projects allowed me to showcase my expertise in video editing, HTML5 interactive ads, landing page design, Lottie animations, 3D character animation, and visual effects.
Beyond creative execution, I also developed leadership capabilities by managing cross-functional teams of art directors, writers, and developers. Together, we delivered a wide range of projects, from explainer videos to responsive interactive platform landing pages. Our collaborative efforts were recognized with industry accolades, including awards for campaigns like "Defeat Life’s Big Little Annoyances" at the Shorty Awards and honors at the Women Business Awards.
