I am in my fourth year of Art & Design at North Carolina State University. I am incredibly passionate about pre-production in animated films and TV shows, specifically character design. My dream is to impact those around me through my art and storytelling in a meaningful way. I love to explore complex topics such as mental health with my stories and characters to help others understand they are not alone.  On a normal day, you’ll find me sketching or reading, and I’m always excited to talk about new shows or movies that I’ve watched!
