Round of applause for our sponsors

I've always knew that I wanted to work in a creative field, although when I was a teen I thought I would be going into comics. When I started playing video games, some with impactful and wonderful stories, I knew that developing games or working in games is what I wanted to do. It would take a lot longer for me to be able to pursue this passion, I started seriously studying art in 2017 with hopes of working in the game development industry one day.

As far as I can remember I've wanted to work in creative media, from getting my mind blown from Star Wars, to creating my own worlds on printer paper as a child. From the very start I knew I wanted to do this.

Watching 3D animated Films as a kid made me want to become an artist so i could tell my own stories

Creativity and entertainment have always been my life blood. When I was 8, I was set on becoming an animator for TV. As I got older, my focus shifted to video games, growing up on mostly MMOs and RPG-style games. I dabbled in animation for 3D, but it wasn't for me. The parts leading up to animating though, such as concepting, storyboarding, and 3D modeling were more my speed. So much so, I graduated college with a BFA in Visual Communications for Entertainment Art and Illustration.
