With a Bachelor’s in Industrial and Product Design, where I fell in love with the delicate craft of pottery and ceramics, I’m now diving into the world of animation and video game design, finishing my associate degree at SUNY Westchester Community College in Interactive Technologies.
I’m an explorer at heart. Whether I’m hiking through forest trails, chasing sunsets, or sketching ideas inspired by the great outdoors, my creativity is rooted in curiosity and wonder. My journey is a blend of cultures, creativity, and endless possibilities, and I can’t wait to share it with the world. Website
