I started working as an illustrator in high school and it led me to major in Design and Illustration in college. While I was still in school, I worked on two award winning animated feature films, won three student excellence awards and was featured in the CMYK magazine illustrators showcase. I continue my work in animation and VFX but work freelance constantly to gain better projects Experienced. I have been doing this for a while now (over seven years). I have learned that different projects require different mindsets. My work in painting and illustration has won awards and my work in VFX and animation is a skill few freelancers carry in their arsenal. I also keep my finger on the pulse of modern culture, art and design, a skill that so many of us neglect.
