Born and raised in New York City, I became an artist at a young age. Inspired by the works of Disney, Miyazaki and Pixar, I began by visualizing the world around me with pencil and paper.
As I grew older, I became fascinated by how things moved and interacted on a screen. I taught myself animation and programming to breathe life into my artwork.
In college, I studied digital media and computer science. After graduating, I worked with talented designers and global brands at a creative agency, and passed on my skills to children at a coding academy.
