I would love to work for a game or film studio as a character artist.

In my senior year of high school, I was first acquainted with 3D modeling and animation. As I took more online classes in it, my passion would grow. I would then attend Ferris State University in 2019 where I would continue to grow my skills as a 3D Artist. With graduation around the corner, I prepare myself for industry job searching with my capstone project 'Solus' at the helm of my portfolio.
