3D Modeler and Animator
Atlanta, United States

I am a 3D modeler and animator located out of Atlanta, GA with a passion for the arts. I'm always itching to bring something to life any way I can through 3D works! Ever since I was young my dream was to be an animator. Though at that time, 2D was my area of interest it never stopped fascinating me.

Six years ago I found the magic of VR and RWBY. Both pushed me to want to learn how to make, use, and utilize models in programs like Blender and Unity to have enriching experiences in the VR creative realms that existed. With this, some friends and I did innovative fan works in and around the 3D universe of RWBY. This then was a domino effect. I wanted to animate these characters that gave me so much joy. I wanted to model them. There was so much still to learn and I didn't have a good direction.

I found out that some of the modelers and animators that resided at Rooster Teeth, attended this awesome art school names Fullsail. They talked about their experiences and how they grew there. I decided to do the same. With my bs in Computer Animation under my belt and the knowledge to go with it, I'm ready to turn the page and start the next chapter of my journey.
