Just a huge passion for art.
In Fall of 2015, I graduated from Dev League with a certificate in Web Development. I attended an accelerated course of 26 weeks (800 hours) of learning how to code Javascript through various projects and exercises. Turned out to be a lot of fun!
I plan to continue learning and utilize what I've learned and combine this knowledge with my artistic abilities and design skills.
In spring of 2011, I graduated from the University of Hawaii at Manoa with a Bachelor's Degree in Creative Media, focusing under the department's animation track. I also have a Minor Cert. in Fine Arts. I love fine arts as you can see, but also love the idea of storytelling through visual media.

-digital art
-life drawings
-conceptual art
-graphic design
-character design
