Welcome to my site!I want this to be a cozy place where I share my favorite work so thanks for checking it out :)I'm a silly little guy from California, and I graduated from the 3D Animation and VFX program at SVA in May 2025. My focus is on lighting and look development, but I also enjoy modeling and compositing.If you have any work-related inquiries, questions, or just want to talk, feel free to message me via email, Instagram, or Linkedin. I always appreciate a good recommendation and I try my best to support other artists.Thanks for stopping by!

Sequentia

This series was done in collaboration with my friend, Nel. They provided the concept and wonderful writing which I had the privilege of making illustrations for. Though this project was technically finished in 2020, I wanted to revisit the concept because it is still one of my favorites, and I wanted to improve my illustrations from the older version.
