About Me
I grew up immersed in animated shows, movies and video games, which fostered a strong appreciation for storytelling, art, and technology. Along with a talent in drawing, these influences led to a keen interest in bringing characters to life through digital media. During my time at Gnomon, I was able to explore character sculpting and animation for video games. While I love sculpting interesting characters, I chose to focus on bringing characters to life through animation. Now that my time as a student is over, I am eager and excited to take my next steps alongside other working professionals in the entertainment and gaming industry.
