Starting my career on Inside Job was like boot camp. Thrown into the deep end, learn fast and get things done. It was crazy, but I couldn’t have asked for a better first job in animation. The team I worked with was great, I was really enthusiastic about the show, and I’m really proud of the work I made for it. (Part II just went live on Inside Job today! I need to update my portfolio with work I did for those episodes too. We worked on Part I and II at the same time in 2020.)

After Inside Job wrapped, I was contacted by TItmouse to do some work ofr the upcoming animation anthology for Amazon “The Boys: Diabolical.”

I was selected to do a bunch of design work for the final episode based on my illustration style, as this episode was more anime-like in approach. As being one of the only background artists on that episode, it was another big step up of a challenge to tackle the look of the episode more or less as I saw fit. It involved a lot of industrial environments with loads of damage needed lol. It was a quickie, but helped introduce me to Titmouse as a client.

Almost right after The Boys, I was contacted by Titmouse again to do some freelance for the season 2 finale of Star Trek Lower Decks. This was honestly not a show that was on my radar that I wanted to work on, but work is work! I took it on, smashed it, and they offered me a full time position for BG Designer on Season 3 coming back later that year.

Working for Lower Decks has been awesome -- the show has a wide variety of environments, genres, and concepts to draw from. While Inside Job and The Boys were more consistent (urban office-like places vs industrial etc,) Lower Decks is ALL OVER the place. You’d think it’d just be a bunch of interior shots of the ship -- but no, alien cities, alien planets, outer space, space stations, science fiction technology, natural environments, you name it we need to draw it. Season 3 was a blast to do work for, and we were able to bring in a lot of our own design sensibilities to the show to bump up the art quality. Season 3 just concluding airing at the end of October, and if you watched it I hope you enjoyed it!

I’m currently working on Season 4 of Lower Decks and it’s every bit as entertaining to work for as season 3. Here’s hoping it comes back for season 5, (aaaand looks like I’ll be going back to Netflix after Lower Decks wraps for even more future work!)
