About

I am a 3D and 2D artist with experience in character design, modeling, illustration, motion graphics, branding, and visual content for digital and educational projects. I enjoy combining strong fundamentals in color theory, composition, and character storytelling with technical skills in 3D modeling, texturing, compositing, lighting, and graphic design.

I am a curious, adaptable, and collaborative professional who enjoys learning new tools and exploring different forms of art. I have worked with internal and external clients across education, healthcare, retail, transportation, and entertainment, creating characters, environments, props, interfaces, animated content, and branded materials while meeting deadlines and supporting my teammates.
