I'm an expat from the States living in Wellington, NZ. After a while in hospitality I am trying to get into graphic design, animation, and any art work I can be a part of. Film and music are also passions of mine. I've studied Animation at Yoobee College in Wellington and have a Level 5 Diploma, focusing on the Adobe Creative Cloud and Autodesk Maya. I'm a massive film and gaming nerd, I love TTRPGs, comic books, heavy metal, sci-fi, fantasy, you name it.…I'm an expat from the States living in Wellington, NZ.
