ABOUT

I’m an American 2D & 3D animator, digital illustrator, storyboard artist, amateur film critic, and an aspiring filmmaker for the Animation Industry. I am a huge nerd and enthusiast of films and television shows, and I enjoy bringing a vision to life through art or animation.

I was home schooled through high school, attended The Digital Animation and Visual Effects School (The DAVE School) concentrating in CG animation and VFX, received my Associate’s in Fine Arts: Visual Arts degree from Durham Technical Community College (Summa Cum Laude, Phi Theta Kappa), and I am a graduate of The University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA) in the School of Filmmaking with a concentration in Animation.

My interests are primarily in the realm of action and fiction, and to films that successfully integrate strong visuals, visual effects, and expressive forms of animation that supplement the story or the film, overall, rather than distract. The films I love inspire my creativity and encourage me in my pursuit of a career telling my own stories.
