Born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. In 2018, I became a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Digital Art and Animation student at Digipen Institute of Technology in Redmond, WA. Where I studied skills that span from traditional and digital forms of art such as painting, photography, sculpting, 2D animation, 3D sculpting in Zbrush, and 3D animation and rigging in Autodesk Maya. Having worked as an animator for multiple game projects in Unreal Engine and custom engines. My love for animating comes from games and movies like “The Last of Us” and “Into the Spiderverse". My goal is to animate for the rest of my life and constantly improve and adapt.
