Work with me

Let’s make your idea real

You’re here because you want to bring an idea to life. Maybe you want authentic Deaf representation in your story. Maybe you want a piece of art just for you. Or maybe you have a bigger project and you’re not sure where to start.

I do all my work myself. That makes me a great fit for small and medium projects. For a big project that needs a full team, I can help you plan it, set a realistic scope, and tell you which other roles you’ll need.

Before you ask for a quote

How big is my project?

I am one person. An animation isn’t one job. It’s a lot of jobs stacked on top of each other, and each one takes real time.

Consultation fee: pending: Destiny sets the amount. If your project goes ahead, it counts toward the project price.
