Biography
I have a life-long love for drawing and art.
I developed drawing skills across much of my early life, and with a growing interest in digital cinematics I began digital modeling at 15 and entered the U.S. FIRST robotics 3dStudio animation competition sponsored by Autodesk. My subsequent curiosity in modeling architecture led me to pursue an education in design and engineering upon graduation.
To pursue design after completing an engineering degree, I enrolled in the undergraduate and graduate program at Roger Williams University's School of Architecture, Art, and Historic Preservation, where I earned a Bachelor's and Master's degree in architecture in 2008.
I had also enrolled in a graduate-level animation studio using Maya with film to deconstruct and present ideas and themes in architecture.
I currently work in Autodesk's Revit, AutoCAD, and 3dStudio Max for architectural projects. I use Maya and 3dStudio for animating and rendering, and have explored Mudbox for a sculpted approach to character and free-form modeling. I use Adobe software for graphics, post-processing, and web design.
