Biography

Hi there, I'm Braeden! I've always been interested in working in the entertainment industry ever since reading a book called "Industrial Light & Magic: The Art of Innovation" all the way back in high school. After poking around different avenues of creative interests, vfx, filmmaking, etc. I always came back to drawing. Being encouraged in high school to pursue my creative endeavors, I went to College for Creative Studies, a design school in Detroit, MI. For 4 years, I learned the fundamentals of art and design, graduating with a degree in Illustration. Not totally satisfied with my skills, I moved to California where I'm currently taking classes at Brainstorm school in concept design, learning from working industry professionals the artistic and design aspects that are utilized in the entertainment industry.
