I am a junior Animation and Humanistic Studies major at the Maryland Institute College of Art with a passion for storytelling, especially through storyboarding and character work. Much of my work is inspired by my love for folklore and I love how animation's collaborative nature allows many people's voices to shape a story, like with old folktales. A tale told 100 times by 100 people over the years, has the whispers of each teller in it just like an animation has the fingerprints of each story-boarder, inbetweener, and background artist. I'm practiced working in a variety of media, including ink, gauche, charcoal, and digital art programs (e.g., photoshop, illustrator, clip studio paint). I also have experience working with traditional and digital animation media (e.g., animate, after effects, tv paint).
