Meet Finn.
About.
I am an animator and illustrator with a flair for the weird, the whimsical, and the wonderfully off-kilter. At Kissing Party Animation Studio, I work as a character animator and storyboard specialist on an Adult Swim series, thriving in a collaborative team environment where mining creativity and meeting deadlines go hand in hand. A proven visual storyteller with a sharp sense of humor and an enduring love of quirky characters, I am a skilled multitasker who always minds the details, from concepting through final edits. I am passionate about the creative process and believe that great animation should make you feel and laugh (often at the same time).
