Despite the time frame listed here, I have actually been working with Immediacy (formerly Fabian-Baber) ever since 2015. However, until 2018, I was working with a team as Coffeebot Studios, LLC. Though the other Coffeebots have now left for other emplyment opporunities, I took on another project as a solo freelancer. Having already established a working relationship with the Immediacy team, I was able to quickly adjust to working on videos myself, while maintaining client communication.

Having built a relationship between myself and All Ages while working at Coffeebot, I was hired to work on a short 3D animated advertising project as a modeler, rigger, animator, and pipeline consultant.

My reputation as a hard worker got me this short term game animation role. I was able to quickly learn the pipeline and create work that fit the established look and tone of the game.
