Why character concept? I love observing people and there personalities, the shapes of their bodies and the interesting angles of their faces! I love exploring, testing and discovering shapes within certain animals and people as well as objects and environments. I honestly did not think I would go for character design, but it seems to be the one area I enjoy the most and revisit constantly in my sketchbooks.

What are your Goals? My long term goal is to eventually work at Dreamworks PDI (though that might take several years). I like the work that is produced at the company, how everyone treats each other fairly when on a team, the way the employees are treated, and the constant new and unique designs for projects that comes out with each unique artist. I know it may not be right out of college, but one day if I keep working hard enough, I hope to make it!
So overall, this is where I'm at in my life. I'm a student with a dream, like many of the other talented students working to make it in the Industry. I have a passion, something I really enjoy learning about and exploring with other animation students. I hope to continue making friends and learn more as I continue through my life Journey!
Below is an example of my recent Portfolio. I'm currently looking to improve on it by adding more digital works and storytelling into the characters, but any criticism is greatly appreciated! I hope to one day be a character concept and visual development artist!
