Hi, I’m Salty!
I’m a Senior Animator with 8 years of experience developing in AAA, VR, and mobile. Most recently, I was at PlayStation’s Bend Studio.
I’m the type of animator who likes wearing multiple hats. I love crafting the performance, but I’m just as passionate about designing the mechanics and building the tech that makes it all work in-engine. For me, it’s not just about how it looks – it’s about how it feels in the player’s hands.
Got a challenging project or just want to geek out over animation systems? I’m always happy to connect with other devs. Drop me a line if you think my mix of art, tech, and design would be a good fit for your team.
Past Projects
With nearly a decade of multidisciplinary experience, I bring a holistic view to development, having delivered results in animation, rigging, and UI/UX design.

Emmanuel Roth
Animation Director
“Salty has showcased his capability to handle tasks independently, find solutions, and provide support across various projects and teams. His contributions to our game have been significant, including key frame animations, motion-capture animations for gameplay, work on previz and cinematics, combat animations with a detailed understanding of systems such as the weapon layering system, and the development of a new swimming animation system”
Penelope Cook
Senior Producer
“Salty is just a pleasure to work with. He is quick to understand what is desired, knocks out his workload fast, and even preemptively helped other animators get through their lists when confronting a massive deadline. Salty is one of those rare talents you look forward to having on your team because you just don’t have to worry about things getting done at high quality on time. Don’t miss out!”
Jesse Bolzman
Senior Animator
“I worked with Salty for several years at Bend Studio, and I was always impressed by his breadth of talent and willingness to take on just about any task. His storyboarding ability is fantastic, and I relied on him heavily during my time as cinematic lead. I appreciate his positive attitude and responsiveness to feedback. I would absolutely work with Salty again and recommend him to anyone looking for a solid animator who brings a wealth of additional skills to the table!”
