About

Hey there! I’m Mike (he/him), a Canadian artist and animator with a passion for stories, games, and film. I’m also an avid reader, library enthusiast, and tea drinker.

Drawing was always a hobby of mine, but it wasn’t until completing my B.Comm at McGill University in 2012 that I decided to pursue it seriously. I graduated from Concordia University’s Film Animation program in 2016, having learned about all levels of production across different styles and mediums.

Since then, I’ve worked for video game and TV animation studios alike in a variety of positions, such as: storyboard artist, clean-up animator, compositor, animatic editor, character designer, senior animator, and art director, to name a few. I love being part of a team and learning new things!
