I am a digital artist, designer and coffee enthusiast in the WNY area. I also work as hard as I can to give projects my all. I sink my soul into my projects, I feel that my portfolio helps capture that.

Animation Reel

My animation reel, different experiments and procedural planets
Software: Blender 3D, Final Cut Pro X

Space

Creating procedural planets, galaxies and blackholes from scratch in 3D. I usually start with a blank sphere, and then begin adding nodes and textures to morph and manipulate everything until I get the vibe I am looking for.
Software: Blender 3D

2021. This blackhole was created in Blender 3D as the main piece in my senior art show. I used a sphere with different ‘noise textures’ to create the look I was going for. This was certainly one of the most challenging works I have ever done.

2019
2022. One of my professors challenged me to created an Earth-ish like planet from a new Star Trek TV show. He was convinced I could create a better looking planet than the TV show had aired. I feel like I was up for the challenge.
Here is an example of one of my planet setups in Blender, you can see the Nodes at the bottom that control the texture of the planet and clouds.

Branding

Del Sol Hotel: A complete top to bottom redesign of an existing hotel resort. I started with sketches and spitballing ideas when creating this brand identity. I worked the resorts location, Spain, into the design. I feel that it gives off a good vibe for the resorts goals of bringing in new guests.

Gloss Tattoo: An exercise in creating a brand from scratch, an app user interface, a colouring book and of course a company logo. I started off picking a typeface and just playing around with different shapes until I got the look that just felt right.

Burchfield Penney Art Center

A project for the Burchfield Penney Art Center, meant to advertise different upcoming events at the museum. I worked closely with the managers of the event to create 4 distinct but connecting animations for these 4 events. I started with the overall logo and branding for the projects. I created the logo and animated it in After Effects.
Software: Blender 3D, Adobe After Effects

Illustrations

Assorted illustrations from my tenure at ECC and Buffalo State College
Software: Adobe Illustrator, Blender 3D, Adobe Photoshop

2018. This painstakingly recreation of Carrie Fisher was my first major project at Erie Community College. I created it in Adobe Illustrator with thousands of individual shapes to create a geometric looking portrait.
2022. This was a fun late night project in Adobe Illustrator, I could not sleep and just wanted to create something for the sake of it.
2021. ‘Sleep’ was created as merchandise for my BFA senior show. With the initial background being one of my galaxies created in Blender 3D and the sleep text being manipulated in Affinity Photo.
