About
I've always been a storyteller, whether through designing, writing, or even the occasional youtube animated short. Whenever I work on a project, I always have a scene playing in my mind and use it to keep myself focused in the right direction. I'm hardworking and meticulous, but always try to keep things lighthearted and humorous.
