I aspire to become a Lead Technical Artist, and who knows, maybe from there become an Art Director!

When I was 16, I started editing videos of myself to teach people exercises in the gym. from there I started learning Aftereffects, and while I was learning that I saw an Ad for Cinema 4D. I knew I had to try it out. I fell in love with the process, intricacy, and complexity of the software. After doing that as a hobby for a Year I discovered that i could actually turn 3D artwork into a career! The rest is history :)
