ABOUT
THE
ARTIST

The stories that resonate with me most are told through characters on a screen. As a 3D character animator, I’m passionate about bringing characters to life and creating performances that make people feel something—no words required.

​

My journey began with a foundation in 2D animation and illustration, which continues to shape the way I approach 3D storytelling. After exploring 3D animation at Western Piedmont Community College, I pursued my bachelor’s degree in 3D Animation at the University of North Carolina Asheville, developing skills in Autodesk Maya, Blender, and Unreal Engine. Now a graduate, I’m excited to bring my creativity, curiosity, and love for character-driven storytelling into the animation industry.
