I recently graduated from the Art Institute of Dallas with a Bachelors Degree in Media Arts and Animation. I find myself a generalist at heart, but went ahead and focused on Animation and conceptual design. My older brother Jeremiah (Jerry) O’Flaherty got me interested in the industry through my brother Eamonn who he had employed at Misfit Beach at the time.

Me and a group of other Student banded together to create a small 2D short for the National Wildlife Refuge System called the “Teddy Project” in which I got to work as a generalist with a specialty in animation. The time during the Teddy Project I got to wear multiple different hats, one being Assistant director, another as Lead animator, co-Lead in editing, animator, and editor.
