Hello! Thank you for taking interest!
I grew up in Kankakee, Illinois and attended Columbia College in Chicago for an animation degree.
Although I specialize in 2D animation, I spent a year of my education dedicated to 3D animation.
Outside of art and animation, I enjoy snowboarding, video games, and my cat.
Timeline
I’ve had a passion for sharing my art from a very young age. I can remember in third grade when a teacher was showing off something I made to my class. Ever since this moment of recognition, I chased this feeling.
In middle school, I won a bookmark competition where my design was printed for the entire school. I continued to strive for more, joining our school’s newspaper to draw comics.
Here is the one of the first animations I’ve ever made using an app to draw with my finger.
My passion continued on into high school where I became a club officer for my school’s publications club. I continued to draw comics and illustrations where I was awarded first place for Best Editorial Cartoon in both 2021 and 2022. I also won first in 2022 for Yearbook Graphics.
Although I thoroughly enjoyed the process and community through drawing comics, my true interest remained in animation.
I’d draw dozens of storyboard concepts, doodling in my classes rather than taking notes. It was here where I realized that there would be no “Plan B”- I would become an artist.
I attended Kankakee Community College for two years where I’d continue to practice animation
on Clip Studio Paint. These years would be where I saw the biggest jump in my drawing skills since middle school.
For my final two years of education, I went to Columbia College Chicago. I was able to apply everything I had been teaching myself to a group setting. These two years would be the hardest I’ve ever worked both at school and while on break. It felt like the time where this dream of mine was finally leading up to my future.
Now, with only a couple months until my graduation, I can’t wait to see what comes next.
