About Me
From a young age I knew I wanted to be an animator. That dream carried on as I grew up, continually inspired by stories like How to Train Your Dragon, Spirited Away, Arcane, and The Dragon Prince, in addition to a fascination with the natural world. Throughout high school I filled my free time with creating fantasy worlds and finding any moment to draw or build something new.
This led me to pursue a BFA degree in character animation at Southern Adventist University, which fueled my passion for making visual stories, while learning the skills needed to do so. I found a deeper love for the craft, especially in surface texturing and character animation.
And now I am eagerly bringing my skills and talents into the professional industry, ready and hungry to create new stories that will inspire the next generation of artists.
