I am a passionate visual development artist currently pursuing my Bachelor of Arts at California State University Northridge, with previous foundational studies at Pasadena City College. I enjoy creating engaging storytelling visuals and have experience in both 2D and 3D animation, storyboarding, and character design. I am enthusiastic about bringing diverse perspectives to my projects, including LGBTQ+ themes. My professional journey includes work as a freelance artist serving online clients through social media where I manage commissions involving design, posture, and backgrounds. I also worked as a bilingual team member at McDonald's, where I honed my customer service and teamwork skills. I continuously seek opportunities to enhance my skills through workshops and community events, including stop-motion animation and juried art exhibitions.
