I am working to finish my B.S. in Animation at DePaul.  Though I primarily work in 3D, I have experience and training in traditional methods such as hand-drawn and stop-motion animation.

I began my collegiate career at DePaul as a sophomore in the Fall of 2007.  Before taking any formal courses, I had about eight years of self-taught animation and modeling in 3D Studio Max.  Though not the greatest work, I was able to grasp the essence of working and animating in 3D.  Before delving into the computer animation world, I had what I believe to be the typical animator-to-be experience with clay, cut-out, and Lego man animation.

In the Fall, I plan on attending USC to earn my MFA in animation.

My single biggest childhood influence has to be the Super Nintendo.  I still believe many of its games to eclipse the effectiveness of modern games.  The simplicity is no longer necessity on current consoles, but the mantra of "simple yet effective" has long guided my work.
