Since graduating, I've become encapsulated by the field of motion design, and have completed the following School of Motion classes: Animation Bootcamp, Advanced Motion Methods, and Cinema 4D Basecamp to improve upon my skills. My dedication to and passion for the craft, improvement, and learning has been essential in becoming the creative I am today.
