Growing up and moving multiple all around the state of New York allowed me to meet many people as I was learning what the world was. Video Games were also a big part of my childhood, and were one of the main inspirations for wanting to become an artist in the first place. I started out making graphics for small esports teams, then making wallpapers for phones and computers. I went on to start freelance work on sites like Etsy and Fiver when I decided I would get higher education towards this.
My senior thesis & short film Escapism: A Short Film won 4th place In the Burchfield Penney Art exhibition. Being awarded for the film.
I’ve found I am proficient with 3D software and creating 3D art and animation. Also, developing video games, combining my skills in design with a love for immersive storytelling. I’m efficient in the loop of designing, 3D Printing, and post processing. I build 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. My 3D animated short film won an award in the final student exhibition of the Buffalo State 2026 Spring semester and I graduated with a Bachelors in Graphic Design / Art & Design.
I worked my Senior internship for the Bisons and am currently still working with them for the 2026 season. I have fully revitalized much of their media pool with new animations and 3D character models for Homeruns, double plays, triple plays, special events, and future use for the brand.
