Hi there! 

I am a passionate 2D animator with a strong creative flair, and I am excited to bring characters and stories to life through the art of animation. During my free time, I also engage in content creation and video editing, allowing me to explore different avenues of visual storytelling.

With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of storytelling techniques, I strive to create captivating and visually appealing animations that leave a lasting impact on the audience. Through my work, I aim to convey emotions, convey complex ideas, and entertain viewers in a unique and engaging way.

In addition to my animation pursuits, I am also embarking on an exciting journey to become a reptile breeder. Fascinated by these magnificent creatures, I am dedicated to acquiring knowledge and expertise in reptile breeding practices. This endeavor allows me to combine my love for animals with a desire to contribute to conservation efforts and educate others about the beauty and importance of reptiles in our ecosystem.

As an individual, I am driven by a strong work ethic and a constant desire to improve my skills. I am always seeking new challenges and opportunities for growth, pushing myself to learn new techniques, software, and stay updated with the latest trends in the animation and content creation industries.

With my combined skills as an animator, content creator, video editor, and aspiring reptile breeder, I am committed to leaving a positive impact through my work, both in the artistic realm and the realm of reptile care and conservation.

As a freelance 2D animator specializing in streetball-themed indie game production, I have collaborated with Illegal Games, contributing animations that capture the essence of basketball. Using industry-standard software like Toon Boom Harmony, I brought characters, environments, and objects to life with dynamic animations. I maintained effective communication channels, incorporated feedback, and developed an array of assets for UI/UX to enhance the overall immersion. My flexible approach and ability to meet deadlines allowed me to deliver high-quality work on various streetball-focused indie game projects.

Additionally, I stayed updated with the latest advancements in animation techniques and industry trends, constantly honing my skills to bring fresh ideas to each project. By staying on top of emerging technologies and innovative approaches, I ensured that my animations were not only visually appealing but also pushed the boundaries of creativity. 

I graduated from Pratt Institute in May 2020 with a BFA in Digital Arts, specializing in 2D Animation. Throughout my time at Pratt, I immersed myself in a dynamic learning environment that fostered creativity and exploration. The comprehensive curriculum provided me with a strong foundation in animation principles, including character design, storyboarding, motion graphics, and digital painting. I actively engaged in collaborative projects, both within the classroom and with industry professionals, honing my technical skills and developing a keen eye for visual storytelling. With a diverse portfolio and a deep understanding of animation techniques, I am now well-equipped to create captivating and visually appealing 2D animations.

I not only gained valuable technical expertise but also had the opportunity to collaborate with peers and industry experts, expanding my artistic perspective. The vibrant community of artists and visiting lecturers pushed me to constantly refine my skills and explore creative boundaries. Through these experiences, I developed a strong work ethic, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to bring characters and narratives to life in a captivating manner.
