Biography
My extensive education and experience as a modeler has equipped me with the skills needed to create optimized 3D models. I have knowledge of the animation pipeline, including everything from conceptualization to modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, simulation, lighting, and rendering. My background in traditional drawing and experimental animation enables me to approach my work with an artist's eye.
I was in the Digital Creature Animation Program at Sheridan College, studied Digital Painting and Expanded Animation at Ontario College Art and Design (OCAD) University, and performed as an exchange student in the 3D Animation program at Emily Carr University of Art + Design.
I am passionate about creating engaging and visually stunning projects, and I enjoy collaborating with other artists to bring creative visions to life ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
