EXPLORATION & PASSION PROJECTS
3D ANIMATION
HOBBYIST 3D ANIMATOR | NOVEMBER 2022 - CURRENT
As a hobbyist 3D animator, I explored programs such as AutoDesk Maya and Blender to learn character animation. Under the guidance of experienced animator Davide Maugeri (Secret Life of Pets 2, Migration, and more), I created various animations with both quadruped and biped characters. In addition, I created fan-made animations with a Bolt rig provided to me by animator Magdalena Jóźwiak (thank you both so much!). I continue to enjoy animation and have plans to explore creating more complex scenes in the future.

DIGITAL & TRADITIONAL ART
HOBBYIST ARTIST | NOVEMBER 2024 - CURRENT
As a hobbyist artist, I explored creating digital art on Procreate as well as on paper with pencil, pen, ink, and gouache. I completed an Art Fundamentals course at Pepperdine University (ART 101), and received an A in the course. In the course, I explored different artistic elements, completed photo projects, studied principles of design, proportion, line, pattern, color, light, as well as attended art lectures (from artist Casey Kauffmann and art historian George Gorge). Digitally, I enjoy coloring and making art with canine subjects (foxes, wolves, dogs) as well as doing redraws of film characters. I continue to enjoy creating art, and am actively working on expanding what I can do--as well as honing in on a specific digital "style" I enjoy the most.
