I'm an Animation Director and Supervisor based in Vancouver, Canada, with over 20 years of experience in animation for TV, streaming, games, and advertising. Since June 2024 I've been back at Polygon Pictures, across Japan and Malaysia, leading animation and CG teams from layout through final delivery. Right now I'm directing on an upcoming Apple TV+ series and an AAA game — both still under wraps, so I can't share titles yet.

​

Before that, I was Animation Director / Episodic Director at Bardel Entertainment in Vancouver from 2022 to 2024, and Episodic Director / Animation Director at Polygon Pictures in Tokyo from 2016 to 2022.

My credits include Stillwater (Apple TV+), Star Wars Resistance, Lost in Oz, Punirunes, Sausage Party: Foodtopia, SuperKitties, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars — recognised with a Peabody Award, a Daytime Emmy Award, Emmy-nominated productions, and an Annie nomination for The Clone Wars in 2013.

​

Originally from Mumbai, I started with classic cartoons — Tom and Jerry, He-Man, Popeye — and a curiosity about how characters come alive. That led me to teaching: from 1998 to 2003, I taught 3D animation at ICAD in India, starting with 3D Studio (the DOS version) and Maya on Silicon Graphics workstations, then moving to 3ds Max. After teaching, I worked as Senior / Lead Animator at Disney, Nickelodeon, and Uli Meyer Studios, then moved into supervision and direction at Maya Digital Studios and as CG / VFX Supervisor at Prime Focus VFX.

I take the craft seriously, but a calm approach — and a bit of humor — goes a long way in making great animation. Always happy to collaborate, problem-solve, and help tell stories that stick.
