I focus on blending artistic craft with technical skill to create polished 3D work and help others do the same. I’m a digital artist and educator with experience in 3D modeling, animation, texturing, and interactive media, supported by a background in studio art, digital art, and coding. I currently teach 3D Animation at Orange Technical College, guiding students through the full production pipeline and helping them build strong portfolios and earn industry certifications. My industry experience includes working as a 3D artist with Disney Creative Group, where I modeled assets, managed 3D printing workflows, and supported merchandise development. Earlier roles at LSU strengthened my expertise in digital imaging, VR, and student mentorship.
