EDUCATION
2015 - 2016 - Animation and Concept Art
Vancouver Film School
Vancouver, BC, Canada
During my time at Vancouver Film School, I had the chance to explore many styles of art, from realistic modelling in 3D with the Zbrush classes to 2D cartoony animation on Toonboom Harmony. For my final project, I develop the characters and the world for a 2D show mixing Norse Mythology with Sci-fi and Pop culture references.
