ABOUT ME
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. As a student, I worked on several award-winning films and design competitions such as the Coca-Cola Refreshing Films competition, where my group won the grand prize. I was also a semifinalist in Disney’s Imaginations design competition and my thesis film was screened and featured in festivals and animation showcases.
