Hi there!
My name is Neko and I'm an animator. Well... okay, I've done a little bit of everything: illustrating books and games, graphic design and branding for businesses, motion graphics for advertising, and of course animation. I've produced animation for TV pilots, short films and video games. I've even spent a few years as a full-time Animation Professor at St. Louis Community College where I ran the Graphic Communications Program.
I've recently relocated to Chicago where I'm actively seeking work in 2d animation and/ or motion graphics. I'm open to full-time, part-time and freelance work. If you've got a project in need of a highly skilled and versatile artist, drop me a line and let's make it happen!

NewsA while back the Popcorn Sundae crew and I had the opportunity to work for Allied Artists Music Group creating 2d animated segments for Rocky Kramer's latest music video. Now that the video is out and we can officially talk about it I've created a little video showing our animation, compositing, and VFX process for it.
I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Allied Artists Music Group creating animated segments for Rocky Kramer's "Rock Star" music video. I had a lot of fun creating the “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”/ “Space Jam” blend of animation and live-action. The video is out now on YouTube!
