Bio

I am a graduate of East Carolina University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and a concertation of Animation/Interactive Design. I am proficient at using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe After Effects. I have experimented with many different forms of media, but I find animation to be my favorite. I find it to be my favorite because I find more interest in bringing an image to life. I look forward in seeing where my animation takes me from here on out. 



Design Philoshopy


Often the simplistic things are both most natural to understand and most complicated to know. The ability to convey its overwhelming meaning in most directly without losing the sense is the most natural and magical way of any one thing. However, it is easy, like knowing how to breathe without thought or knowing when others breathe, it means they are alive. However, the moment you stop and think, “how do I breathe?” your breath stops, and you overwhelm by that knowledge.

I believe art is a lot like breathing. I believe this because often when I am creating a simple drawing or a full animation, my breath matches that piece. I often catch myself breathing fast when working on an animation that’s fast pace. It is almost like the piece itself is telling to run and catch the next beat of movement. While working on a part that is slow and gentle, my breath flows smoothly and quietly as if urging me to enjoy the moment and not rush forward. I believe that art is like breathing because if the piece is truly worth working on, it makes the artist experience every shape, line, color, and movement. And it continues to make the artist feel it even after completion. Art is a lot like breathing life into something that wasn’t there before. Overall, I strive to feel this way with every piece, even if it is not my favorite work because every breath proves that it is alive.
