Available for hire fromNegotiable
Contracts
Experienced 3D Animator & Motion Designer
My passion stems from my childhood when I would watch an animated movie and play a video game and wonder how the magic was accomplished. I work towards achieving quality and excellence in animation from realistic to stylized. In high school, I gained two years of experience in Visual Imaging, receiving a Technical Certificate in 2012 from Oakland Schools Technical Center, Michigan. I have earned degrees from both Eastern Michigan University (BS in Simulation, Animation & Gaming) and Savannah College of Art and Design (MA in Animation). As an animator, my goal is to entertain the audience with joy and laughter through motion, storytelling and performance.
