I have graduated with an M.A. in Motion Media from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD).  I have also received my B.F.A. from SCAD in Visual Effects.  I have extensive knowledge of fluid and particle effects using Houdini, along with the integration of such effects into video and a keen sense of weight and motion using After Effects.  I am highly capable of creative problem solving and aim to obtain the most economical yet aesthetically pleasing solution to problems.  Through my experiences I have been able to organize my time and projects well and critically solve each problem to the next.

            Ultimately, I would like to be a technical designer and procedural animator of a multimedia production studio where I can collaborate with a team of creative individuals, exploring alternative and innovative techniques to deliver products to clients.
