I create animated films, characters and companion materials that help children learn about your product.
For more than 15 years, I’ve written and created educational films and programs that turn information into entertaining stories—from agricultural adventures for children and families to Aston English, teaching English to children in China, and Animal Outtakes, a local Florida television show. Through memorable characters, humor, and original songs, I help organizations give their message a life of its own.

I also wrote and illustrated SunnyBell’s Florida Dairy Farm Adventure. Florida Dairy Farmers reported that the hardcover book was widely used in schools and libraries across Florida.
The collaboration also included a second storybook, a coloring book, and Apple and Android apps with interactive games and videos.
