Biography
Hello! I earned my BFA in Art and Technology and minored in Screenwriting at The Ohio State University. Currently, I am an artist and 2D animator for AfroDuck Studios, which is developing a Pan-African RGP called "Zakumba: Astraia." I've taken on a few internships, collaborations, and freelance projects along the way which taught me valuable soft skills and better workflow practices. I also work as a Production Assistant for a multimedia management and production company called WrightOne Media Group.
I have a passion for storytelling, world-building, character development, and animation which make me a great fit for creative teamwork. I aspire to work in several specializations within the animation industry, but 2D character animation predominantly calls my name.
