I graduated from the School of Visual Arts in NYC with a B.F.A in Illustration. This wonderful degree was incredibly beneficial but ultimately didn't lead to my dream career. I have continued to develop and evolve my skill set as an Illustrator but it wasn't until a few years ago I decided I wanted to pursue visual development and a career in the animation industry. Animation has been a giant influence in my life that has played in my creativity and helped shape my ideas. I want to continue to develop my own voice as a visual development artist so that I can play a small part in shaping someone else's experience, just as all those artists did that inspired me.
