Hi there! I’m Jasper, a freelance 2D animator and compositor in Toronto, Canada. Common roles for me include animating motion design, blocking out camera moves, and adding spicy effects and environments to cel animation. I also manage teams of animators, including leading dailies, giving assignments and feedback.

I’m a technical thinker and love problem solving. I work with some amazing designers and I take pride in carrying their carefully thought out details into animation.

When I’m not working, I enjoy things like reading, sewing, enjoying the outdoors, and other stuff you’d put in a dating profile to make you seem fun and approachable.

You can also see occasional breakdowns and tips and tricks on my Instagram.
