A Bit About Me
I am currently enrolled at Brooklyn College pursuing a Bachelors in Fine Arts (BFA). I intend to get a MFA after graduating to peruse a career in character designing, story creating, graphic novel writing, and illustration. I have experience in design skills with background in writing and research as well as sociology.
I want to utilize the knowledge I have developed over time in these fields to tell dynamic narratives in fantasy, non fiction and drama. I have currently three developing stories under these genres and wish to evolve them into tangible media.
I have experience in graphic design, 3D design and photo/video editing. I have studied in many mediums of art as well as programs surrounding designing and writing fundamentals. I am a strong writer with a passion to tell enlightening narratives as I wish to create a comic that can be adapted to a TV show.
