Summary

I’m an Animation & Media Artist specializing in 2D/3D animation, mixed-media storytelling, and immersive digital experiences. My work blends fine art, character-driven narrative, and emerging technology to explore themes of memory, identity, and environment. Whether I’m building projection-mapped installations, animating stylized characters, or crafting cinematic motion pieces, I’m passionate about creating visuals that evoke emotion and deepen connection.

My portfolio includes 3D character animation, motion graphics, world-building, and experimental media. I’ve exhibited work at the Oklahoma Science Museum and the Take Care BFA Exhibition, and I’ve led youth animation programs, designed live-event graphics, and produced animations for federal agencies and community organizations.

I thrive in collaborative creative environments and bring strong production-pipeline skills, from storyboarding and design development to modeling, lighting, compositing, and final polish. I love merging technology with handmade artistry, and I’m always exploring new ways to push the boundaries of animation and film as both storytelling tools and sensory experiences.
