ABOUT

Creative and versatile with a background in 2D/3D motion graphics design, video-production, post-production, graphic design, e-learning, and interaction design. Raised in Alameda, California  but have lived in NYC, Germany, Moscow, and all over the San Francisco Bay Area. My formal education began at Queens College, then moved on to San Francisco State University, Berkeley City College came after that, and ended at Academy of Art University. These eclectic institutions have provided a strong foundation in story-telling, film-making, and digital design. During undergrad at SFSU I took advanced courses in screen-writing, story-boarding, directing, and digital cinematography. At BCC I focused mainly on Cinema 4D, After Effects, and the Principles of Animation. When the pandemic became a problem in 2020 I decided to continue my education and kept myself busy with graduate school for Interaction and UI/UX design at Academy of Art University.

I'm a big fan of science fiction and science in general.
