I am a digital artist, animator, and designer with over 7 years of professional experience. I love being a creative artist and am very passionate about this field. I believe that having the strong traditional art background that I do, at my roots, enhances all areas of my digital creativity. I have also been known to be a people person while maintaining excellent organization and presentation skills. In my spare time I love keeping up with the bleeding edge of technology and enjoy dismantling my gadgets. Needless to say, I am very computer savvy.

In the digital arts I am very well rounded when it comes to software. My forte and favorite area lies with the 3D side of things with programs like 3DS Max, Maya, Lightwave and Cinema 4D for 3D graphics and animation. I also without a doubt have had tons of experience with the entire Adobe Creative Suite 6 such as Photoshop, Flash and Illustrator for 2D graphics and image manipulation. Lastly, motion graphics and video editing are also interests of mine, having had lots of experience with software such as Adobe After Effects, Premiere and Final Cut.

Deriving from many years of experience, I have extensive knowledge in the development and delivery of digital art, and animation for a wide range of clients and companies seeking creative visual solutions. My work has contributed to television broadcasts, independent films, the United States Government, legal practice firms, medical demonstrations, marketing strategies and educational media. I am flexible, hardworking, and have learned many proprietary tools to accomplish the job. I understand the importance of meeting crucial deadlines while also maintaining acute attention to detail.

Art and creativity is and always will be prominent in my life.
