  • I like Animation
  • I love to read books
  • I enjoy Hiking

I am a visionary creative director and designer with fourteen years of experience delivering stunning, impactful multimedia productions that drive organizational goals and missions. I worked with big companies such as Bank of America, IdeaHelp, John Hardy, and Eve Pearl. I specialize in Motion Graphics, CG (3D) Animation, 2D Animation, Video Editing, Web Design (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), Graphic Design, and Photo Retouching. I have brought that knowledge into the classroom, teaching complex technical skills while engaging students. My teaching philosophy focuses on fostering an interactive, engaging, and student-centered learning environment through illustration. Active participation is essential to effective learning, especially in the arts, where hands-on exploration and personal expression are vital. Additionally, having students share their artist statements helps them verbalize their ideas to the public. I use tools such as visual exercises, Interactive presentations, demo videos, and live demos.
