DESCRIPTION
I’m a character designer, animator, and motion graphic with a passion for the animation world which began at a very young age when I dabbled in creating characters using Photoshop. Thus began my ongoing passion for creating elegant, usable and effective characters. My motivation to achieve as a professional artist/animator is evident in the way I organize and manage projects and in collaborating with peers on meeting challenges. Being open-minded and humble, I willingly accept any task necessary to help get the job done.
