Personal Statement

I have a knack for thinking through the processes of production to create successful applications. I enjoy building wire-frames, prototypes, and documenting design notes as much as creating the visual design of the product. Besides my design talents I am a traditional/digital painter with a strong interest in both 3D and traditional animation. I’m not afraid to try something different in order to grow as a professional in my industry.
