about me
I attended the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, and in March 2007 I graduated with Honors, received the Best Portfolio Award, and my Bachelor Degree in Media Arts and Animation. Since then I have freelanced and worked on several projects in my field, such as tv and web animation, illustration, and logo and graphic design. I love to draw, experiment with various software, create characters, paint, and make movies.
programs
I am comfortable with Photoshop, Flash, Corel Painter, Toon Boom Studio, After Effects, Maya, Premiere, Contribute, and all MS office applications.
