My story as an artist and teacher

I've been making animations and graphics for companies for years as well as have taught college level animation courses to middle school afterschool programs here in the Chicagoland area since 2014. I love creating lovable and memorable characters for anyone who needs their story told and to push the boundaries of modern animation to create unique cartoons and illustrations that are indeed one of a kind. Through the after-school programs, I've inspired many young and eager artists to create their own artwork. Whether in fine art or animation, there is no limit to the wonderful creations and ideas that I have instore for a client and industry to tell beautifully crafted stories. I have my professors at from College of DuPage for my Associates in Applied Science in Animation and that also includes my mentor and former Disney special effects artist Athony Venezia for creating the degree program.
