Biography
I'm from Puerto Rico but raised in Florida and have had a love for films and games for as long as I can remember. I studied Character Animation at UCF SVAD and have a Master's in Game Design at FIEA. I've had the pleasure of working on various short films and games where I have been able to gain experience as an artist. I've worked in team settings where I communicate with every person in the pipeline to create art as needed. Although my main focus is environments right now, I also have experience developing characters and props.
