RINGLING COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN
I’m a twin, I’m from Chicago, and I love random facts. In the past few years, I’ve had tons of fun experimenting with design and animation for personal projects, studio work, school work, and other fun odds and ends. In each project, there’s something special that comes out in the end. My favorite part is finding voice. This includes a love for crafting story, designing with a purpose, and animating in a newfound expressive way. As fun as it is to be independent, I owe everything to employers, faculty, friends, and even my parents. I’ve had the opportunity to work at Giant Ant & Gunner on some very fun projects. The combination of soaking up work experience plus an incredibly experienced faculty has furthered my learning. Plus, they’re some of the coolest people ever. I continue to challenge myself with independent projects while indulging in a few cups of coffee along the way. On the weekends, find me running, fishing, cozy in a hammock, or working on passion projects.
