A little bit about myself is that I have always been an imaginative being, when I was about four years old, I began asking my mom to draw my favorite Pokémon for me (which was all of them). Eventually she was burnt out from drawing Pokémon and told me that I would need to draw them myself. By watching her draw I learned how to use a pencil and have not put it down since. By the age of seven I began sketching my very own creatures, birds, people, and more.
At the age of thirteen, I knew I wanted to bring my creations to life, so I attended a class over how to create your own 2D side-scroller games using Game Maker 7. I loved that class and used the program for many years. After high school I got a degree in graphic design but decided that wasn’t for me, so I tried construction, electrical and worked in a factory for a semester. During that semester I realize that in these 23 years of being alive the thing that brought me the most joy was seeing my drawings and my imagination come to life.
At tewnty-four having my associate degree in Enrich Media and Animation from Des Moines Area Community College. Always looking forward to my assignments and new challenges ahead. I got excited at the thought of working with 3Ds modeling software to bring a whole new world to life. I cannot wait to continue growing in this field, learning new programs, creating new things and meeting other professionals.
I’m now twenty-six, and with Covid fear widespread, it quickly became difficult to find a stable career in Animation in 2020. Luckily I was blessed with the opportunity of moving to Massachusetts and start a career in the food industry as a Customer Care Demonstrator. I work closely with clients and I’m exposed to all kinds of unique machine processes. Working hands-on with these systems gives me a plethora of inspiration for my designs.
