I am a young man with a profound interest in designing, drawing, sculpting, and animating characters. I always strive to create my art with skill and style! I also love game design, world building, storytelling, and manly anime.
I went to Ferris State University and got my Bachelors Degree in Applied Science, with a major in Digital Animation and Game Design. I also have experience in project management, video editing, and graphic design.
