Early Life
Growing up and moving multiple times around Western New York gave me a unique lens through which I see the world, and I drew a lot of what I saw. Each drawing told a story of where I had been, or a joke to the people I was friends with. Video Games were also a big part of my childhood, and were one of the main inspirations for wanting to be an artist. I started out making graphics for small esports teams.
College Life
I originally went to college with the intention of studying law, drawn by the structure and idea of making a difference. But as time went on, I realized my heart wasn’t in it. I kept finding myself drawn back to art & design. Eventually, I made the decision to pivot. As I grew in the field, I discovered a deeper love for visual storytelling and animation, seeing how a design could communicate emotion, meaning, and narrative without saying a word.
Here we are now
I’ve been focusing on creating 3D art and developing video games, combining my skills in design with a love for immersive storytelling. I enjoy building environments, characters, and assets that bring a world to life, for an animation or a game. Working in this space lets me explore both the technical and creative sides of visual storytelling, seeing how my ideas can evolve into something playable and visually rich is the peak of this medium.
