I'm an artist and animator who specializes in 2D Animation, Digital compositing, graphic design, Storyboard, character, background, and prop art from 2013-present. Growing up in Long Island, New York, I always had a dream. To become a 2D animator and artist. This dream began when I was young. I would watch the behind-the-scenes features in the Disney video tape openings and always loved how the characters looked without color. I was fascinated at how the animators moved their “golden scepter” called the “pencil” on the soft paper. And ever since then, the art of animation has become my passion. I grew up on the Autism Spectrum and that posed many challenges for me, but my love of animation became my strength. Despite challenges, I attended college as a Visual Arts Major and from there I became an Animation student at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, graduating with a BFA in Animation in 2018. This led to an internship at Titmouse Inc, working on storyboards with a creative team for the Adult Swim series "Ballmastrz: 9009". In 2019, I was back at Titmouse, Inc. working as a digital compositor on the Netflix animated series “The Midnight Gospel”, where I assembled multiple files from Adobe programs like Photoshop and After Effects and used edit and clean-up techniques to create the final picture. I went on to work on various freelance 2D animation and art projects doing various character designs, backgrounds as well as lip-syncing and character rigging. --- **Digital Compositor** Titmouse, Inc. _October 2019 - December 2019_ **Freelance 2D Animator and Graphic Designer** Young Hall, LLC. _September 2018 - March 2022_

    On YouTube, I heard some audio prank calls for a series called "Crotchety Old Man Calls" and was done by radio personality MJ Kelli. These are so hilarious that i always thought what these audio tapes would be like if they were animated and drawn in various art styles.
