I've always had a love for movies and games. I enjoy making and creating things and I love being inspired by see other people's work. One day I want to make work that inspires others.

When I started getting compliments on my hard surface models. I started teaching myself 3d modeling in 2012.

When I was a kid, I knew I wanted to make things that I personally enjoyed. Originally I wanted to do animation for TV and movies but as I got older, I saw more opportunities in making art for games as well.

Around my senior year in high school. I was commissioned to do a mural for my school, which lead to doing one for a play. During that time I decided that traditional media wasn't for me, as it's too messy. So I stayed dabbling with digital media, using Photoshop to make stencils. Then in my first year of college, tried Maya and fell in love. From there I knew that 3D was what I wanted to do.

I first realized that art was my calling as a child in elementary school. I was always the distracted student in the back of the class, trapped in his own imaginary world, and art was my was to focus my attention. My teacher asked my to show him what I saw in my imagination, to give him a glimpse into my vast and ever expanding adventures through my mind. Ever since then, I have enjoyed funneling my wild imagination in multiple forms of media and haven't stopped since.

I've always been a creative type since childhood, so being able to pursue a career in 3D modeling feels like the best job path that I could have possibly taken.

I’ve always been drawn to Art. Sketching, Painting, Photography, Design... I’ve delighted in artistic expression all my life, both independently and throughout my formal education. Visual storytelling in particular holds a special place in my heart. Until I started my 3D Modeling degree I struggled to see where my place in the more traditional entertainment industries that I admired so much could be. Now, I’m beginning to bridge the gap between my ‘impossible’ dream and my new reality.

I first realized that making any form of animation required a lot of creativity and imagination. And when it comes into form it becomes beautiful.

I've wanted to work in a creative media and entertainment industry ever since I was little. I've always had a passion for gaming the moment I held a Game Boy in my hands for the first time. I became indulged in the challenges and fun that a game could bring and it helped me push my creativity further through drawing and competitive gaming. I wanna bring the world closer through video games and create bigger communities.
