About Me
Ideas are constantly pouring out of me and into stories, fantasies, experiences, strategies, or feelings. My imagination is my most powerful tool and I’ve been training it my whole life.
Since I was around 4 years old in Milwaukee, WI, I had learned how to draw with my grandpa. He taught me everything he knew and, over time, I have been soaring with it. I was creating characters, story sequencing, plot structure, and even practicing my cinematography which was displayed all over their refrigerator.
It wasn’t until about 10 years later that I realized that I was essentially creating storyboards for my own fantastical stories! Since then, I have been learning anywhere I can and meeting everyone I can to move towards mastery. From university masterclasses to online mentorship programs, I have never stopped learning.
Story artists get to create something amazing out of nothing and that’s what I’ve been doing my whole life - and I love it!

My Eductaion
I can learn just about anything if given the chance. My love for drawing and creating has got me going and the desire to enhance my abilities has kept me going. I am hungry for knowledge (and food) anywhere I and find it! From learning on my own and with mentors to masterclasses and online courses, I have come a long way. I know there’s even more to learn and I can’t wait for my next opportunity!
Self-Taught | Mentors
I learn a lot on my own and enjoy the process of discovering and practicing new techniques. From watching & studying TONS of movies, tutorial videos, and just going out and drawing, I am always developing my skill. All of this growth is further enhanced by incredible mentors along the way. With 1-on-1 teaching, ongoing feedback, and continuous support, I have been able to learn more that I ever could on my own. I cannot express the gratitude for those both inside and outside of the industry who have helped me get to where I am today!
Masterclasses | Online Courses
These classes helped me build a formidable foundation and understanding of storyboarding. The masterclasses include Storyboarding by Matthew Luhn, Story & Animation by Matthew Luhn and Valarie LaPointe. My online classes included Figure Drawing through Schoolism with Louis Gonzales and Alex Woo as well as The Art Of Storyboarding by Lyndon Ruddy and Character Design by Aaron Blaise.
