Hi, I’m K

(they/them)

I’m an animator, illustrator and educator born in Louisiana, raised in Texas, and currently living in Queens, NY. 

You might know me as the animator of The Robin Meme.

My experience is pretty eclectic: I've worked on TV shows, feature films, commercials, music videos, and non-profit as a director, animator, designer, storyboarder and compositor. Though I've done a lot, my main passion is directing, designing, and storytelling. 

I love variety and I love trying new things. My true love is animation, but I'm a huge sucker for any type of visual narrative. I love a story, and I'll consider which medium is best to tell it whether it's animation, comics, illustration, or even paper mache sculpture. 

Aside from freelance, I also teach Animation Thesis at the School of Visual Arts. I have experience curating and hosting animation screening events such as Paper Jam and Zoetrope. I'm also available for consulting, so reach out if you need the scoop on animation production.
