As a recent graduate from Texas A&M University's Visualization program, I bring a strong foundation in 3D rigging and graphic design, with a passion for creating immersive digital experiences. Throughout my studies, I have gained hands-on experience in rigging, animation, and visual storytelling, leveraging tools such as Autodesk Maya, Blender, and Adobe Creative Suite to bring complex designs to life. I thrive in collaborative environments, having contributed to several multidisciplinary team projects that combined art, technology, and storytelling to produce high-quality visuals. From working on interactive media to 3D modeling and animation, I enjoy bringing together creative ideas and technical solutions to solve real-world design challenges. My academic journey not only sharpened my technical skills but also strengthened my ability to communicate and collaborate with cross-functional teams to achieve project goals. I'm now looking to apply my skills in a professional setting where I can continue to grow as a 3D rigger and graphic designer while contributing to innovative and impactful projects.
