Mini-Portfolio



I completed these two digital paintings last semester in my ANI113b class. The goal was to recreate the same forest but change the lighting from day time to night time. I enjoyed this assignment because it was the first time I have used Photoshop to complete a project.





This is a video of a ball bounce cycle that I have just completed for my ANI114 class. I tried to keep in mind the principles of slowing in and out when the ball reaches its apex.

This is my fifth year at SJSU as an Animation/Illustration major. I have completed all of my lower division animation classes, and this is my first year of taking upper division classes. As far as science classes go, I have taken geology, and biology at SJSU. The last physics class that I took was during my senior year of high school. The greatest thing that I have learned so far during my years here, is that storytelling is the underlying life vein of all art. I'm not quite sure which direction I want to go in when I graduate, but I know for sure that I will be telling stories.
