Growing up, I’ve always had an interest in animation. From cartoons to Pixar/Disney to early 2000 internet animation to anime, it’s something I’ve enjoyed watching my whole life and to this very day. My interest in it eventually led me to create my own animations through Kid Pix and Pivot Animator during my adolescence. As I got older, however, I believed it to be an unrealistic career and moved forward.

Fast forward a few years, I got into a university (CSULB) and after trying out various fields, I found myself in marketing. I was drawn to the creative aspects of it, even going as far as teaching myself Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. I did quite well and got a few internships, jobs, and experience. Eventually, I found out about a cool little program called Adobe After Effects and the rest was history.

When I’m not admiring others’ animations or making them myself, you will most likely find me at some music festival or concert, the gym, or catching up on my backlog of video games!
