My Senior Thesis
From February 2017 to May 2018, I directed my 2D & 3D animated film featuring how the two mediums coexist in a 3D world, both physically and mentally, in a detective setting.

Character Design
Liz was asking for character designs for her fearsome critters, so I looked through several articles and through her inspiration photos. I ended up looking up strange animals, such as pangolins and landed on an anteater. Anteaters have a large black pattern around their necks and I thought: what if that was a mouth! Hence, the anteater maneater aptly named Smiley.
Props
I did a few props, some of which did end up in the video and others that did not. My first models were the environment pieces to get some clutter down for our prototype. I gave myself tomatoes and fruit to start off with and then moved on to the pizza, which is featured in the trailer. I also textured the teapot and teacup used in the scene with Bigfoot, although I did not model or UV them!
Book Cover
In Spring of 2015, I was approached by one of my professors to create a book cover for her! I met with her several times, going through many designs until we reached this simpler one. You can find the finished book here.
Bendy Buddy
In my freshman year of college, a senior at the time named Carsen Kelliher asked for help on his film. I reached out to him and soon found myself sucked into his project, coloring at least ten shots that were fairly long and even doing some rough animation. I ended up offering to do credits, which kept me up late nights, but I am still proud of his film!
