​​
During my education in Savannah College of Art and Design Atlanta, I have gained experiences working on 3D animation using Maya and was adept at applying animation expertise towards 2D software platforms such as Clip Studio and Harmony. In my prior position as a 2D Artist at Distilled Gaming, I mainly focused on concept art creation, producing character designs, crafting new visuals in designing textured card frames, using Adobe Photoshop and Clip Studio. I was also involved in the company’s marketing campaigns by editing gameplay videos using visual effects in Adobe Premiere and After Effects.
I have a keen interest in animation, creating illustrations as well as fanarts and determined to pursue a career of creative arts. I believe my animation skills and creative abilities will be able to contribute to multiple environments.
