About

With a spring in my step and a drive to create unique and lively drawings, my passion is to create characters and stories through art.

I am currently a 5th-year undergraduate attending Cogswell Polytechnical College in the field of Entertainment Design.

I work primarily with Photoshop and Prismacolor markers, though I also have a working knowledge of Maya, ZBrush, Mudbox, Illustrator, After Effects, and Final Cut Pro.
