About me

Michael is a animation artist, an animated short film director, and Animation artist. With over 15+ years of experience working professionally as a character animator, he has worked on several AAA projects including Star Wars JEDI series , SpiderMan PS4, Ratchet and Clank, and How To Train Your Dragon TV show.  He holds a BA in Animation from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. 

My office is filled with post-it notes where I write down my animation ideas and drawings that might come to me throughout the day.  I am constantly drawing in my sketchbook inspired by a lot of things around me. 

Besides art, I also love to play and watch basketball.  I’ve been known to shoot jump shots that are impossible to block!!
