About Me

I went to community college for visual arts in 2012, then started a side gig drawing portraits of people and pets. In 2016, I deep dived into graphic design, web design, product design, and digital illustration. Using those skills, I ran my own business creating and selling stationery and planning products, all while offering freelance design services on the side.

In 2020, after the pandemic hit, I went hard learning to create comics and webtoons, diving deep into storytelling, and learning each step of the process. Comic storyboarding, character acting, and expressions then pulled me full-circle back to animation. My dream refused to die.

The next year I went to the University of Texas at Dallas and took a few classes learning 3d modeling, rigging, surfacing, animating, and lighting. I enrolled in character design and storytelling classes taught by industry professionals online, studied more helpful art books, and focused training the skills I needed.

Now I work as a freelance concept artist and illustrator, continuing to learn and improve as I go. I’m also studying UX/UI Design in a Google certification program, working toward game UI design in the future.
