Welcome to my 3D digital design art portfolio!
I'm currently a student at Rochester Institute of Technology studying to become proficient in 3D digital design. I know how to model, UV, and light my projects. Enjoy!

Artist Statement
My main goal, not only as a 3D artist, but as a creator is to express vulnerable feelings and emotions using themes and the basic principles of art like form, color, and symbolism. I enjoy taking simple, commonly known elements and associations and transforming them into complex, and deeply meaningful creations. I am thoroughly inspired by other artists’ development of ideas as they are brought to life and seeing someone's thought process through the type of art they produce. My work generally embodies a cartoonish stylization that dips into fantasy and abstraction. I also use my art as a way of communicating my ideas, feelings, morals, and experiences with the viewer and I strive to always deliver it in an increasingly alluring and engaging format. Through the process of creating impossible worlds and wickedly fantastical creatures and scenarios, I hope to resonate with others through the uniquely absurd; whether it be with a good laugh or deep self reflection.
I use mostly Maya and a little bit of Blender in the bulk of my creation process because I find 3D forms very satisfying and fulfilling to put my time and energy into. I feel I have more opportunities to construct endless ideas quickly and accurately. The ability to modify aspects like camera focal length and lighting types adds a whole new level of dimensionality in which to evoke strong emotions. I also think in 3D and using this format helps the process of getting ideas into the physical world.
In my journey, I hope to get opportunities to grow as an artist; to change and be changed by those around me while I learn about the world and others and teach people around me, about me.
