Welcome to my illustration portfolio! Let it demonstrate a passion for learning new softwares, incorporating them into my workflow to increase speed and create dynamic designs.

A degree in Media Studies from UCSB started my path on the intersection of art and technology. Since then I’ve compared programs such as Toon Boom Harmony, Clip Studio Paint, Unreal Engine (3D) and Blender (3D). Most often I use those in the Adobe Suite. Feel free to contact me for freelance projects! I would also love the opportunity to continue growing as part of your company.

Day 1

of experimenting with After Effects

The dandelions were created in Photoshop then moved to AE. After applying ‘CC Bend It,’ I ran into some issues with image cutoff. This was fixed by raising the start point on the effect and adding ‘Grow Bounds’ on top. After easing the animation, I kept it going with the expression [loopOut(“pingpong”)].

I also adjusted each on the Z-axis and enabled the 3D camera layer’s Depth of Field to draw attention to our foreflower.
