Oh hi! If you’re on Tiktok, pretty please give me a follow 🙏🏽 My numbers are embarrassingly low for a professional (but maybe exactly right for someone who has only one post). Much love and thanks! https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJCTPX2F/ #tiktok #vfx #stopmotion #animation (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIGT6giDpjv/?igshid=3bz4yxvdfi7u

Thankful to have worked with so many inspiring artists on @missinglinkfilm and, of course, this killer comp team (plus our Comp Supe Sara who’s in a different section of the credits). #missinglink #laikastudios #animation #stopmotion #compositing #vfx (at Laika) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwQ7uGYFRaH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=38q3c71oq69z

Do you have fuzzy fantasies? What better reason to go see our movie? I hope you check out my last few years’ work, in theatres now! #missinglink #laikastudios (at Laika) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwKoDitFxfl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19jtsdbom9opw

Garden pup, posing. The sweetest little critter, she followed me around as I explored the garden. #dog #puppy #newzealand #newplymouth #tekaingamarire #privategarden #garden #landscaping #fernery #plants (at New Plymouth, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv5tAFdFMUW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ebxhds4v4ycm

This is the nikau, the only palm native to New Zealand. The gardener said I was lucky to catch it in full bloom. #nikau #palmtree #newzealand #newplymouth #tekaingamarire #privategarden #garden #landscaping #fernery #plants (at New Plymouth, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv5ssouFhZy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=64lu6bjtli19

Outdoor living space. Sometimes, when I visit private gardens, I forget that these are real homes where families actually live. It’s a privilege to visit and a pleasure to meet the artist/gardeners who created these spaces. #newzealand #newplymouth #tekaingamarire #privategarden #garden #landscaping #fernery #plants (at New Plymouth, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv5rng3lULO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s3n0o187yrh6

The fern house at Te Kainga Marire. At the bottom of frame you can see a dark tunnel. Steps led down into the earth, under the fernery and out to another garden space. I love this whimsy. #newzealand #newplymouth #tekaingamarire #privategarden #garden #landscaping #fernery #plants (at New Plymouth, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv5q5RwFXav/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p805zgid837t

Te Kainga Marire garden. One of my favorite things is visiting private gardens and there are countless opportunities in New Zealand (check out the New Zealand Garden Trust). I met the owner of this home and garden, Mrs Poletti, who, with her husband, built this garden from the ground up beginning in 1972. When I arrived, she was tending the vegetable garden and was gracious enough to give me a mini tour and history of many of the plants. It was a lovely visit and a beautiful space. #newzealand #newplymouth #tekaingamarire #privategarden #garden #landscaping #fernery #plants (at New Plymouth, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv5p5uAl7Pu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1195zxu3ywpso

After the Egmont morning hike, the Pukeite afternoon visit and then wandering Pukekura for a few hours, I sat down to relax and got lost in this cube of light #newzealand #newplymouth #pukekura #festivaloflights #garden (at Pukekura Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvsv7swlo36/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=186dgn1tn63mm
