About

Heyo! I'm currently a freelance 2D and CG generalist in the industry with a love for doing everything but the animation. I have 4+ years of experience being a background artist, and overall generalist for various clients and projects in the industry. I love being on projects in a crunch where I am used to doing or learning to do whatever I can to serve the production.
