    As a 2D animator, character designer, and illustrator, I create compelling characters with unique personalities for various projects on Upwork, a freelance platform. I have worked with clients from different industries, such as entertainment, education, and marketing, delivering high-quality animations and illustrations that meet their needs and expectations. I have also contributed to some notable projects, such as Horizon, a film directed by Kevin Costner, and a car photoshoot with Mark Auria, as a location assistant and a prop assistant, respectively. I have a bachelor's degree in 2D animation from Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design, where I learned the fundamentals and techniques of animation, drawing, and storytelling. I am proficient in Toon Boom Harmony, a leading software for 2D animation, as well as digital illustration tools, such as Photoshop and Illustrator. I have earned multiple certifications from LinkedIn, such as Animating in Historical Styles and Animation Foundations: Drawing Cartoon Characters, to enhance my skills and knowledge. I am positive, outgoing, optimistic, patient, attentive, creative, and well organized, and I enjoy collaborating with other artists and professionals. My goal is to pursue my passion for 2D animation and character design, and to create engaging and memorable stories and characters for various audiences and platforms.

I have been working in Photoshop for graphic design; making thumbnails, designs, show fliers, etc from scratch. As well as using it as a tool to edit and refine illustrations made traditionally.
