Color Design with a Production Mindset

Hi there, I’m a Color Designer based in Pasadena, CA.

I’ve been in animation since 2010, with the past 9 years focused on color design. Most recently, I worked on Rick and Morty at Green Portal Productions.

I’m an artist with a background in production; where I learned to value clear communication, organization, and continuity. That experience shaped how I approach every project.

I have a strong foundation in Photoshop and often create custom actions to streamline my workflow and maintain consistency. I’m also highly experienced in Adobe Animate, which allows me to troubleshoot and adapt efficiently.

I pick up new show styles quickly and always aim to support production team when I can.

Outside of work, I enjoy catching up on anime with my wife, playing my PS5, doing carpentry, and hanging out with our two cats (Lloyd and Wictor).

I’m currently available for full-time or freelance work—let’s connect!
