I graduated with summa cum laude honors from the Art Institute of Dallas with a Bachelor’s Degree in Media Arts and Animation and am working towards a Bachelor’s Degree from Southern New Hampshire University in Computer Graphics Design. Within the first year of my graduation from the Art Institute, I started my own business creating works of digital art for various clients in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. My services ranged from creating computer graphic designs to photography retouching, original conceptual designs to complex computer animations for training and marketing purposes. Maintaining strong business rapport with each individual client is extremely important to both my work ethic and mission statement; attention to detail is critical to meet and exceed each client’s needs while consciously working with budget guidelines and interpreting trends within the industry.
I am very knowledgeable and skilled at a variety of digital art software, including by not limited to 3D computer animation software such as Autodesk 3DS Max and Maya, as well as 2D programs Adobe Photoshop, After Effects and Corel Painter. Being well versed in these different programs is a must, especially understanding the correct program to achieve the desired results on the project at hand. Digital media programs are evolving at a rapid pace, and this understanding allows for effective and efficient usage and learning new technology while communicating the best avenue to meet client needs.
