About

I’m an animation graduate from the University of Technology, Jamaica (UTech) with hands-on experience in 3D modelling, character animation, and graphic design. I’ve worked across Blender, Maya, and the Adobe suite to create polished visuals for both animation and design projects.

I’m an active learner and hard-working creative who enjoys turning ideas into engaging artwork—from pencil and ink to digital illustration and motion. I’m now seeking an animator/designer role where I can contribute strong fundamentals, consistent quality, and a collaborative mindset.
