Biography
I wasn't sure what I was meant to do until I found storyboarding. I have always been on the more emotional/ empathetic side and when I realized I could tell stories for a living, that's all I wanted to do. I want to create stories that make other people feel, that they can relate to, and carry the main lesson into real life. My hope is that my work can help carry stories into other people's lives and maybe help them see things in a new light.
