Events that occur or objects that I view within everyday life, early forms of my own written songs and scripts, previous animations I’ve created, and the study of cinematic film production influence my works, which include animations, short films, and graphic art. Implementing previous knowledge from teaching and working as a graphic artist in the field, I incorporate problem solving techniques of storyboarding, acting, and directing. Whatever the project requirements, I always push to produce work that demonstrates my ever-growing knowledge of the graphic arts, and promotes entertaining media to my audience.

I create using 3D, 2D, compositing, and film editing software. However, I especially enjoy the collaboration of individuals, introducing their own ideas, which generate into conceptual themes and eventually transition into motion graphic stories. The digital age is and forever will be changing. As pupils we must adapt to the rapid modifications of the software and digital media, which is why I believe none of us ever stop learning.
