Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
In 2007, Halo 3 launched and became one of the most memorable gaming experiences of my life. I loved the game so much I told myself, one day I'm going to make a Halo game. Unfortunately, I ended up going to business school instead with the plan to take over the family company. 3 years into the program I made the life decision to transfer programs in an effort to instead follow my dreams of being creative. I instead got a BFA in Game Design & Development and became an environment artist!
Like most game developers, I have loved video games since I was very little. My passion began when my little brother and I bonded over long summer days of Pokemon in our backyard and late school nights sneaking down to the family computer to play Wizard101. As we grew older and grew our differences, we always remained close through the games we would play together. I realized in high school while playing together with him that I want to be a part of creating these experiences for others.
In a way I always knew that I wanted to do something slightly different in my career path ever since I was little. It was not until I was in middle school that I knew I wanted to go into the creative industry. I begun exploring different fields in the industry until I came across visual effects. It was then on that I begun my journey to make a living in this challenging but rewarding field.
I'm originally an Illustrator, and I was never bored when I was drawing! In college I realized that Visual Effects is the perfect medium between Art and Technology, which has always fascinated me. Learning as a lifelong pursuit is admirable in my opinion, and there is always new things to learn in this field!
Ever since I was little, I had an interest in the arts. I would create "movies" with my friends and had a passion for learning visual effects (though I didn't learn the term until much later). In high school, I took up graphic design and theater, further diving into creative outlets. I found I had a bit of talent within the realm of computer arts, and pursuing this craft further has led me to the present!

Growing up, I loved watching films with my family. I would go to the movie theater every weekend and sometimes just watch movies or shows at home. The content I watched deeply influenced me growing up, with lessons that enhanced the values I follow today as a human being. While watching films, particularly Frozen, I realized I wanted to be part of the creative industry. My passion lies in creating stories that would impact the world the same way the movies I watched growing up impacted me.
