JOURNEY THROUGH COLLEGE
As of 2024 I’m 22 years old and a college student in Seattle, Washington, even though my home is in California. In college I’m studying animation, which is one of several art forms I engage in. This “several” includes writing, illustration, comics, filmmaking, cosplay, and drag. I’m pretty into all of these things and would love to talk about it sometime, or perhaps even work on a project if you’ll have me.I've been doing this college thing for about four years now, and I've gotten a lot done during my time.

As a senior my main focus is on my thesis, which will be a short film. The majority of the work in this section is related to this short. To avoid spoilers I have only included pre-productive work.Alongside the work for my short, I've included some work from a project I greatly enjoyed, which was putting together a pitch bible for a hypothetical TV show I titled "Rockstar Hero."

Strangely, I don't think I fully had my footing until I reached junior year. This is when I was truly able to indulge in my passions for filmmaking and character design. Out of all my projects this year, my most prolific was "Same Man I Was Before," a short film inspired by the Oingo Boingo song of the same title. The film is uploaded on my Youtube with a modest 19k views and counting.

Sophomore year was when I started to get more into the preproduction process, specifically writing. Out of everything I did sophomore year my favorite projects were the comics I wrote and illustrated. Additionally, sophomore year was when I started learning Blender. I compiled a reel of my animation work from that year, most of which was done in Blender.

Freshman year of college was when I experimented a lot with different styles of filmmaking and animation before I really found my groove. My biggest project of that year was "The Mister Peepee Show," a crude and vulgar short film that was featured in the Silver Screaming film festival the following October.
