I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a BFA in Fine Arts and minor in Animation and Special Effects in 2020. After studying experimental and traditional animation in college, I realized that my passion lied in visual development. I began studying the craft, taking classes, and building up a visual development portfolio. I was lucky to land some freelance gigs while learning, all which has led me to Hornet NYC, a production studio where I am a Junior Concept Designer focusing on color keys, key story paintings and style frames, environment designs, and matte paintings for commercial animation. I am very interested in storytelling through color and design, and my dream is to do color keys and environment design for animated features.
