Five years ago, I discovered my passion for digital art and my aspiration to contribute to the entertainment industry, particularly by creating art for video games. Today, I hold an associate degree in Fine Arts and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in VFX.

when I went back to school, and the only thing that I actually had interest in was creating digital art.

When I was young, I realized I wanted to work in the creative industries and was amazed at animation and game art. I knew I wanted to make something like that, so I knew art was what I wanted to do.

I realized I wanted to work in creative media when I was only 12 or 13 years old. Seeing everything of my wildest imagination come to life was an inspiration for me.

When covid hit my senior year, I needed a way to make money. I was able to rely on my knowledge in Photoshop and affinity to branch into creating logos , business cards etc. People kept coming back to me and referring me to other people. I also got attention from a design studio while I was doing everything. Through these experiences I started to believe I could survive and maybe thrive in the design field.

A few years ago when I started learning the Adobe Creative Cloud programs for work.

Always been the dream, just finally in a position to make it the reality.

I love watching animated movies and tv shows like Pixar and Anime. I love the art styles, the themes and motion story from lots of animated films. They all have their own unique styles to be able to make their worlds come true. I also enjoy loop animations in video games.
