About
For as long as I can remember, art and animation has always been what I have enjoyed most in life. Some people love playing sports, some people love tinkering with computers, but for me I love drawing. Like most artists (and kids), I grew up drawing all the time and watching cartoons and animated movies. Getting better as the years went by, I decided to take my skills to The Illinois Institute of Art - Schaumburg to get my BFA in Media Arts & Animation. When I graduated, I worked for about a year, but was discouraged with where I was with my artistic career. So I decided to pack my bags for California and learn what I really wanted to master in - 2D Animation. The Academy of Art University welcomed me in to their MFA 2D animation program, and with one semester left, I am getting ready to graduate, putting together my portfolio, and will soon be out looking to work in the animation industry. It's an exciting time and I can not wait to make the jump.Thanks for visiting and enjoy!
