Having grown up on children's animated shows like Digimon and Adventure Time, I always liked animation and illustration. Throughout highschool, I developed an interest in getting a career in the creative industry and started it in University studying Graphic Design. I eventually moved over having found a deeper passion in Animation and am looking to specialise in Environmental Design and Background Art!

Covid 19 struck the world and changed everything for my previous industry leading me to finally follow my childhood dreams of working in the games industry

Purely out of curiosity, I downloaded a trial of Zbrush and it ignited my passion.

2017 I think. I'd not been doing art for a while, but then I started watching anime, and was immediately pulled back in. I kept visual art in my school electives, I got a Surface Book, and started trying to learn at home how to draw again. Then, I began to understand more and more how anime was made, and I realised that I wanted to be a part of that, so I started to learn how to animate.

I've been always a creative person. Since I was a kid I already wanted to learn all kind of arts, like for example being an actor. I had the opportunity to share an appartment with colleagues of the Quality Assurance department from EA Madrid, living with them got me curious about it, that's why I started to search more information about 3D art. After a while, life brought me to live in Germany and after have to learn the language, I could apply to the SAE Hamburg, to be able to learn 3D art.

I 1st discovered my passion for this industry around the end of 2019. I was mainly messing around Unity while I was doing a cert IV in interactive game and media, on which I found a passion for 3d modelling, which later turned into a passion for rigging and VFX basically technical art.

It was something i wanted for a really long time but didnt have the opportunity to study in this field until 2017, when i enrolled in SAE Athens in 3d animation and Game Art Production.

When things I made started working out somehow. At that moment, I felt that path was the one I would take.

I have always loved art and animation since I was young, but it wasn't until I was studying something I didn't enjoy to realise that I can do something with it. There are products I want to work on and people I would love to work with.

Since I was a kid i 've very creative, i used to make this clay chracters and a whole story for them, after that i started practicing to draw and now im here, learning and creating all i can

Back in year 6, When I was sitting in computer class at lunch and on GIMP I created a 4 frame animation of a hideous creature moving its mouth and saying hello. At the time I was super impressed with it so as any little kid I showed my teacher which He introduced me to Blender basically forced me to complete tutorials but by the time summer came I started to REALLY enjoy creating stuff and ever since I have focused on learning 3D in general

Art has always been tremendously appealing to me. I have been writting and drawing since I was a kid and I was fascinated by the art and dexterity of storytelling! That's how I realised, I wanted to get more involved with the entertainment industry.

When i started to create Intros for short animations back when i was attending high school

Then I was 12 years old and playing FF10. I was so fascinating from the Environment and I wanted to do it too and more important I wanted to make other people smiling to my work, like I did with that game.

I've wanted to work on the gaming industry ever since I researched that you can make a career in the gaming industry.

After graduating from Architecture I kept chasing the world with no limits. I think I found it in the entertainment industry.

Right from the start. The first time i was inspired by the old carton classic. Like the Disney Movies and the animated cartoon series on tv. I always wanted to write amazing stories, creating characters and bring them to live and for me it feels like right now it is the time to explore these fascinating world and become a part of it. I am still just a student, but i am already in love about what i am learning everyday. I am so glad that i choose this way and also excited about what comes next.

I've realized I'd wanted to work in the industry when I had an internship in a school where their teach 3D Design and had much fun with that.

The First time it came to my mind was at my Local Trade Fair, where i saw the Stand of the SAE Institute and realized you can actually learn how to do this Magic called Game Development. After that i couldn´t think of anything else i want to do beacause Gaming was such a big Part of my Life that i had to do it.

I never really knew what I wanted to become. Every job I thought of didn't seem bad but often just, well ill-fitting. So after graduading, I worked for 2 years and during that time I found out about the SAE institute in Vienna. I thought I'd try my luck in a course there. I like to create and I like to realize my ideas so I was quite happy to give it a try. Just fitting right in for the first time since looking for an occupation I like, is not only a relief but also extremely motivating.

I realized this when I found my love for games and animation of all kinds, I thought what they were doing was extremely cool and i wanted to join it when i was able to
