Welcome to my portfolio!

As a Motion Graphics Designer in the advertising industry, nothing makes me happier than bringing a client's dream to life. Want to rile up a crowd of sports fans through energetic and captivating stadium LEDs? Need eye-catching visuals to help reboot an old social campaign? Or maybe you need some UI or web services to spruce up your domain? I'm on it.
My insatiable appetite for learning began at a young age in the 2D animation space. When I discovered that I could not only write stories for my characters but also make them move, I was hooked.
From there, I was introduced to HTML, CSS, and UI, later and acquiring an Adobe Dreamweaver certificate. This opened up a new world of possibilities that would forever change my career trajectory.
As I began using my experience to help clients push their passion projects to the world, I became drawn to the world of advertising. Everything from TV commercials, end credit screens, even sidebar ads across websites. This passion quickly fanned the artistic flame that led me to becoming a Motion Graphics Designer. I've worked with a multitude of clients including Toyota, The Ravens, The Maryland State Fair, UMMS, IHeart Media and more.
I received my B.F.A. in Visual Arts with an Animation concentration from UMBC in 2023, was a student volunteer at SIGGRAPH '23, a presenter at URCAD, have been featured in UMBC's Fall 2022 Magazine Connecting The Dots, and have produced artwork showcased at The Peale in downtown Baltimore, MD.
