About Me

I am pursuing 3d Character Animation. At this moment in time I have been familiar with Maya for 4 years learning about modeling and animation. I have learned a lot about animation in the last 2 years and will be working towards an animation job. I am familiar with Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, Premier, Maya, and Media Encoder. I am always looking to learn more about all the listed programs as I am always eager to learn. I one day hope to work for Pixar as I have always been inspired by their work. Movies like Cars, Monsters Inc, the Incredibles, and Toy Story made me fall in love with animation as a kid. While Pixar's style of animation inspired me as a kid, Lucasfilms Star Wars the Clone War continued to make me want to create my own animations. Because of films and shows like this I decided to pursue my career at the Academy of Art University.
