Director/Animator/Writer
Working through my issues through the art of animation since 2017.
Contact
Having realized programming wasn't for me, I decided to take the leap into becoming an animator. I also enjoy digital painting and character design and in the future hope to get into video game design.
My original work is mostly in the fantasy/horror genre and includes psychological and LGBT themes.
