My Story
My journey in digital arts began in middle school when friends encouraged me to create a YouTube channel for a video game we enjoyed. Over the next four years, I gained over 20,000 subscribers and achieved 3 million views across my videos. This newfound interest in video creation led me to join my high school’s film club, where I developed lifelong friendships and further enhanced my skill set. Through this club and related coursework, I acquired expertise in video editing, photography, videography, filmmaking, graphic design, and, importantly, visual effects. I contributed to various projects, including a student feature film, a seven-part mockumentary, numerous school news segments, and sports highlight videos.
My experiences in visual effects for both the mockumentary and feature film solidified my decision to pursue a degree and career in this field. I enrolled in Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, where I earned a degree in Animation and Visual Effects with a focus on compositing and 3D visual effects. The opportunity to work on over 30 student films allowed me to refine my skills, forge valuable connections, and cultivate lifelong friendships. I also chose to minor in Graphic Design, which complements my work as a filmmaker and VFX artist.
Since graduation, I have actively pursued media creation, enjoying a diverse range of projects from inception to completion. My professional experience includes contributions to Disney's Haunted Mansion and various other productions as a VFX artist, as well as content creation for notable clients such as Jordan Peterson, Gabby Barrett, and Your Neighbors.
