About Me

I’m a digital designer and animator drawn to creating immersive worlds through art. I work across 3D modeling, 2D animation, visual effects, sound, and interactive media, always exploring new tools and styles.

Currently, I’m pursuing a B.A. in Digital Design & Animation at NJIT, where I study game design, simulated environments, and collaborative production. My goal is to grow as a designer and create projects that blend storytelling, technology, and emotion.

Creative & Professional Strengths

Beyond the Screen

When I’m not working on design or animation, I’m usually still creating in some way. I love listening to music, playing games, and writing—whether it’s short stories, worldbuilding ideas, or poetry. I also enjoy cooking and experimenting with new recipes when I have spare time.

I like being “all over the place” creatively: it keeps my mind open and gives me more ideas to bring back into my work. All of these interests feed into the way I see characters, environments, and stories.
