What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can create engaging character-driven animation, visual narratives, and digital content while collaborating with creative teams and continuing to grow my design and production skills.

I've created dynamic narratives, characters, storyboards, and character setups as an Animation Artist, collaborating with directors, designers, and sound engineers on 10+ successful projects.

My animation work improved visual-effects integration and character believability by 40%, while expressive movement and seamless effects integration contributed to a 30% increase in viewer retention. I bring hands-on experience across digital art, illustration, motion graphics, 2D animation, video production, and Adobe Creative Suite tools.

Alongside creative work, I've built strong customer-service and training experience at Food Lion, McDonald's, Seasons of Halloween, and EPCOT, including high-volume transactions, team collaboration, and onboarding new cashiers.
