PERSONAL DETAILS
I have always had a passion for animation. As a kid I would draw my favorite cartoons for hours: - The Ninja Turtles, Mickey Mouse, and my favorite, Bart Simpson. As I grew older my fondness for art matured, as well as my appreciation for more technical skills like math and science. At the age of 13, I was fortunate enough to be exposed to 3D Studio Max R2.5 at my high school. The reality that I could merge the two things that I truly loved, and do it as a career became apparent very soon. I practiced throughout high school and became really proficient at using 3D Studio Max for just about anything.
My fondness for art transcends the digital. I am a huge fan of live theatre as well as classical art and photography. I actively volunteer at the Vancouver Art Gallery and attend industry nights at Vancouver Film School - where we talk to and critique student work - as a way to give back to the community.
