About

Hi, I’m Leigh! I’m a freelance animator that specializes in 2D animation. I primarily work in After Effects and Photoshop and jump at the opportunity to use cel animation, stop motion techniques, and cut paper to give my animations a handmade, childlike feel. My favorite projects combine documentary and animation.

Outside of work I enjoy learning German, walking around my neighborhood, and watching and making documentaries. My short doc Superfan premiered at SIFF.

Clients include Airbnb, Uber Eats, Expedia, American Heart Association, Foreign Policy, The University of Chicago, The Second City, Sweden Public Dental Health, Zevo.
