Hey there! I'm Genus, a passionate artist diving deep into the realms of digital art and animation. My journey began at Columbia College Chicago, where I honed my skills in filmmaking with a touch of traditional animation on the side. Ever since I can remember, I've been driven by a relentless urge to create, whether it's through sketches, makeshift 'books,' or experimenting with effects on my camera and laptop. This creative spark led me to establish my own YouTube channel, where I shared my evolving creations and garnered invaluable encouragement from my supportive circle. As time went by, I found my niche in technical intricacies and developed a keen eye for dissecting movement in animation. I thrive in the realm of both 2D and 3D character animation, constantly pushing myself to improve and innovate. My ultimate ambition? To craft an animated series and helm a feature film, sharing stories that resonate with audiences on a profound level.
