What I Do

Since 2014, I’ve been making videos for educators, kids, non-profits, startups and businesses. This year I’ve started writing/drawing books for kids, too.

MY Mission

My mission is to teach big ideas through humor.  Why? Because it’s fun!  While I’m at it, I also want to make stuff that makes a difference.  

I believe that even the most serious subjects can be treated with humor and compassion. 

I use hand-drawn art and animation to bring stories to viewers in a very down-to-earth and human way.  Making the world a better place doesn’t have to be boring or preachy.
