About
Good design is so simple, that is why it is so hard!...
After my graduation from CalArts (California Institute of the Arts) in 1989, majoring in animation (films & video), I worked as a character designer, art director and animation supervisor for Warner bros, Disney, DIC and a few other studios.
Today I work as an animation designer (mainly characters & props), graphic designer, web designer, and film maker. -
