I aspire to be a 3D artist for feature films at a major studio.

I've always loved art, drawing from a young age, but it had remained mostly a hobby. When I was around 21 years old, I discovered the world of 3D art. I was looking at some of the behind the scenes for the movie Kung Fu Panda. There I was first introduced to 3D art and I began my journey into learning 3D modeling by myself, with a focus on stylized 3D models.
