Hey! I'm Collin, an animator and VR artist living and working in Michigan. I work at the studio Gunner and love collaborating with others and discovering new ways of working! My background is in oil painting, so I always love finding that feeling of warmth even in digital processes.

I taught animation and concept development for a few years before working at Gunner, and the spirit of learning and teaching is always with me. That's why I'm so excited to be teaching here on Skillshare.

I’ve had a winding road of working in oil painting, design, classical violin, and studying language. But it all led me to animation.

It's the most calorie-dense medium of expression I've found, and brings together so many things I love: Sound, gesture, color, place, narrative, story... Animation holds such potential to evoke feeling, whether I'm watching it or making it. It’s pretty much the best.

When not animating or in VR, you can find me playing ukelele, riding bikes with my husband, and following my dog around the house.
