A little history about me :)

I like to say Im from Columbus Ohio, (Go Buckeyes) although I was born in Bronx, NY and left at the tender age of 2. I moved to Kissimmee Florida a 16 and went to college at Florida International University, in Miami. I graduated in 2020 with my B.S. in Information Technology with a concentration in Software. Since then I have worked as a software developer in Tampa, Florida 🌴

I'm at a place now where Im looking to pivot into a realm a little bit more my speed. From as young as I could remember I was fascinated with movies, animation and the technical stuff that happened behind the camera. I actually pondered being a cinematographer for a little as a teenager but that dream faded. 

(a short story)

I went to Los Angeles for my 26th birthday last year to visit some close friend and on a solo adventure I went on a tour at Paramount Studios. 

(After graduating in 2020....or during covid... same thing.... I was able to fall back into what I enjoyed as a child and spend time catching up on lots of media I had missed out on years prior)

That  2 hour tour really opened my eyes to intention. I love tech, but I also love movies, cartoons, drawing, reading about HOW a movie was made, watching interviews... blah blah you get it :) 

Sooo here we are! I decided to be intentional and build on what I know already in all the techie stuff and go back to being a student. 

Some mediums Ive (re)explored have been 2D Animation, 3D Rendering, digital painting, and Ive gone back to my roots and sketched just a little. I bought an iPad a few years ago and all of what Ive been playing with has been digital, and its been a lot of fun!

I can yap for hours and hours, but I will leave you with some photos from my inspiring trip, and some of my favorite things I've made. 

Thanks for taking the time to read. 🎬
