Art has always been my passion. Since I can remember, I have loved all forms of art, both in practice and observation. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Illustration from CSULB in 2017 with a minor in animation. I have a deep love for traditional and digital art, especially environments, character design, storyboarding, and writing. Writing is another form of art for me, and I hope to use my illustrations and writing to inspire future generations, entertain, and express creativity. I'm seeking a studio or company that will nurture my creativity and provide opportunities to learn and grow as an artist, supported by great leadership.…Art has always been my passion.
