What I'm looking for

I am looking for a creative environment where I can grow in game design and animation.

I am a recent graduate from Wilkes University with a Bachelor of Arts in Digital Design and Media Art, complemented by a minor in Game and Emergent Technology. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in various design principles, and I have consistently achieved a place on the Dean's List, reflecting my dedication and hard work.

Throughout my studies, I have developed a strong passion for 2D animation and game asset design. My work is characterized by a high level of illustration, and I enjoy exploring innovative ways to bring ideas to life. I have gained practical experience through internships and work-study positions, where I honed my skills in graphic design, research, and customer service.

As I embark on my professional journey, I am eager to contribute to projects in animation, sound design, and voice acting. I am committed to continuous learning and growth in the dynamic field of digital design.
