Summary
I'm a self trained 3D artist since middle school. I started with Blender and have fallen in love with that program and 3D in general. My experiences with art and animation come from working with faculty at my college (Oregon State University) doing animations for their academic research. I'll even be published in a research journal for my work with vet med grad students.
My current line of work is heavy in it's use of Unreal for virtual environments for 3D person, interactive, projects.
My real passion though, is video games. I work in the Dota 2 workshop creating armor designs to hone my skills and maintain my craft. I also work with friends and classmates on micro video game projects.

- 3D Artist/Animator at Oregon State University IDEAS Visualization TeamCorvallis, United States of AmericaOctober 2015 - October 2015
A quick freelance project with the IDEAS team at OSU to help the robotics department. The project was based around robotics to help humanity. For OSUs robotics team it was about the potential for robotics to help disabled people control their mobility through a "smart wheelchair." The video I worked on with a team of New Media Communications students was to describe the problem and present the solution for people ALS and other similar conditions.
