I've always known that I want to create art for as long as I live. The thought of being an artist in the game industry has been with me since early high school and after graduation I decided that it was the route I should take. I've always loved playing video games and making art so pursuing a career in games made the most sense.

When I felt like I was going nowhere in my first semester in university going for a bachelors in comp sci, dropped out immediately and went to BCIT to pursue 3D art and design.

always being creative and when I started watching 3D modeling videos on youtube, I felt they are interesting.

As a kid I saw how much movies and video games could change a person in meaningful ways, as they have done for me, and they can make you think about different topics in entertaining ways. I've always wanted to one day become part of that.

I first realized when I was younger that I wanted to enter into the world of animation from all the films, tv shows and video games that I saw then and now, but it wasn't until my friend Elisa gave me the courage to really get into the industry. So now all I want to do is create and share all the things that come to my mind whenever I get the chance to make them and hopefully along the way I'll be able to bring as much joy to the world as I possible can.

Since I was a child, I started drawing and painting. Then I started my career creating brands, logos, visual media content as a graphic designer and motion graphic artist. By now, I took a break my graphic designer career, and studied to be a 3D artist, that is how I have graduated from the 3D Modeling, Art, and Animation at BCIT.

I knew I wanted to work in the creative industry when I was young and I was enamoured with the arts. It captured my heart in the way nothing else could and gave me a feeling of challenge. It may not come as easily to me as others, but I think that's what I find enjoyable about it. I've been working to get into the industries since 5 years ago and I'm confident I'll find success if I stay on this path. I originally started learning illustration and I'm now beginning to learn 3D.

I did my Batchelor of fine Arts in photography and visual communications and after that I'm doing diploma in 3d modelling, art and animation from BCIT, Vancouver, Canada.

If we're talking about creative industries as a whole, then this would date back in 2016 when I was in Grade 11. However, back then my focus was primarily in the Film & TV Industry. When it comes to exploring the world of 3D Art, I started dabbling with 3D using a game called, Dreams on PS4 in 2020, which allowed the user to create indie games using just their Playstation Console.

I've always been fond of the creative industry. I originally planned to go into graphic design, but that changed in my senior year of high school. I interviewed an animator in the industry for a school project and that changed my plan for the future. I delved deeper into the rabbit hole of 3D and enrolled in a school to learn more about it.

Can’t remember a point when I realized wanting to work in the creative industry, but I have always loved video, and film. I have always wondered how things worked behind the scenes of a game studio or a film studio, I guess my curiosity got the best of me.

Unlike many artists, I didnt enjoy drawing much as a kid! I picked up drawing as a stress relieving activity during my undergrad years. After finishing my engineering degree and a three and a half years of 9-5 job, I realized that was not the life for me. I became a freelance artist, worked on my own comic books, worked in 2d animation as a concept artist and eventually got admitted in a 3d arts program and never looked back!

On 2018, I was working as a poker dealer at Parq Casino. I felt unsatisfied with what I was doing daily and did more learning on 3D Modeling during my free time. I decided to enroll in BCIT's 3D modeling diploma and seek out a better life.

Since I was an obnoxious teenager.

I'm an experienced performer moving from live music and acting into 3D animation.

childhood.. when i saw mickey mouse cartoons in 90's

About a year ago I realized my passion for 3D animation and since then I've been pursuing it. I constantly seek to gain significant improvements on my animation and I'm looking forward to becoming a professional animator.
