visual development for film

T A N G L E D

While working on Tangled at Disney, I explored many aspects of Rapunzel: her character, clothing, personality and surroundings- even her painting style. You can also check out the sketchbook I used to explore what a day in Rapunzel's tower would look like at the end of the collection.

The story of Frozen went through many changes while at Disney. It was a fun challenge to develop the characters and their worlds for each of these versions.

E N C H A N T E D

Designing for Enchanted was a an exciting experience as it was the first time I was designing for live action characters. I always loved the classic Disney fairytale movies, so working on a film referncing them was a lot of fun

There are many film projects that get developed but never get on the screen. This is collection of some of my work for these otherwise forgotten projects.

SKETCHBOOKS

For me creativity is something a little elusive that can be easily squashed by the stress of needing to accomplish something. What I have found to be quite useful to me for my art- but more for my soul -is taking a moment to be truly present and document it through line on paper (and sometimes color too). In this collection, I hope to share these moments of presence and calm.

ILLUSTRATION

From illustrating fairytales to documenting real life, my favorite thing about drawing is the mixture of telling a story and the design of an image. You can find a selection of my illustrations here.
