About Me

Hi, I’m Joe, or as some of my close friends call me "OptionJoe" – a nickname I earned during my early animation days! I’m excited to have you here checking out my work.

A little about me: I’m originally from the Metro-Detroit area in Michigan, but for the past 16+ years, I’ve been living in sunny Los Angeles County with my amazingly talented wife and our hilarious, creative daughter. They inspire me every day.

With over 20 years of animation experience, I’ve had the privilege of working at top studios like Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Warner Bros., and Titmouse. You’ll find a mix of my professional projects and some personal creations here – from storyboards to character designs, all aimed at sparking imagination and fun.

I’m currently open to both full-time and freelance opportunities, especially in character design, storyboarding, and animation. If you’re interested in working together, I’d love to hear from you!

Thanks for visiting – I hope you enjoy exploring my work as much as I enjoyed creating it!
