overview

This year, I have had the privilege to be apart of the animation capstone with the Animation Research Lab at the University of Washington. I am currently working with the production team on our short film  "Eleanor". My work in the pipeline includes student producing, editing, lighting, motion, surfacing and post-production. I have always been interested in the art of storytelling and how to empathize, connect and inspire people through the fusion of art and technology. Learning about the technology behind storytelling and animation was inspiring and seemed like a fun and rewarding experience. I am grateful to have been introduced to this world - it is never too late start!

"Eleanor" is currently going through its' final iterations in post production before we ship it off to festivals. It was such an honor to work with talented artists and storytellers in my class. Very excited to show the trailer soon!
