Ever since I was little, I was prone to staying inside and either drawing by myself or staring at a screen, both for hours on end. Naturally, this led to me pursuing a job in the animation industry. My current skill-set revolves around storyboarding, character design, 3D and especially 2D animation. I am well versed in programs such as TVPaint, Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe After Effects, Autodesk Maya, Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Photoshop. I obtained both an BFA and an MA in animation - as well as a minor in game design - from the school Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). SCAD is who I have to thank for the majority of my experience and skills, and I am thankful for all that I learned there. I look forward to working in the animation industry, and I'm hopeful that I could also incorporate my minor into my career as well.
