Summary
I'm an artist with 3 years of professional design experience in website, logo, and graphic design for The Arena Group, where I've done design work on sites like Parade, Sports Illustrated, and Men's Journal. In 2023, I graduated from Southern New Hampshire University with a BA in Game Art & Development. During this degree program, I honed my skills in all aspects of the 3D modeling and animation pipeline for video game and animation production. I also acquired further experience in illustration, 2D animation, and overall graphic design.
