ABOUT ME
​
I absolutely adore stylized animation and my goal is to try to bring my 2D and 3D art together, combining them as seamlessly as I can. My animation skillset is broad and I use both 2D and 3D tools to get the best results for each project that I work on.
I studied storyboarding and animation, earning my Masters from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2021. Since entering the industry, my work has been featured on NOVA and the Discovery Channel, among others.
Other interests include sci-fi, folk art, puppetry, and bees.
EXPERIENCE

I create illustrations and animations for research proposals, papers, presentations, and online media at UMD's Institute for Health Computing. My graphics are used to effectively communicate complex concepts in medicine and computing such as immersive visualization and bioinformatics. This work supports IHC's mission to improve the health and well-being of the community.
