About Me
Animator. Illustrator. Storyboarder.
I am originally from the U.S. and moved to Melbourne, AU in the end of 2015. I have been drawing my whole life and after high school, I decided to take a gap year to try a variety of different things to see what I liked. As a creative, I saw myself enjoying visual storytelling. Video editing was enjoyable and I knew I loved drawing, so I combined my interests to try animation and knew that this is what I want to do.
I dove deeper into my passion through traveling to Spain with the job of teaching English, but taught kids digital art alongside it. My biggest inspirations came from many of the animated shows and movies I grew up on. My favourite childhood movie is "The Incredibles" but current favourite movie is "Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse". I also was heavily inspired by my favourite TV series "Attack on Titan".
