About
Artistic expression for me has always been about the portrayal of human emotions. I realized that the films, paintings and books that inspire me have always explored the complexity of the human mind and through them, I saw the power they had to enlighten those who struggle with their own feelings through visual and written narratives that relate to them on a personal level. For that reason, my goal has always been to tell stories that can give different perspectives to the audience and portray the challenges that we need to overcome throughout our lives.
During my three years of animation study at SCAD, I grew from an architect and amateur actress to a cinematographer and learned about the multiple tools inside filmmaking that can visually push and enhance a character’s emotional state.
Every artistic piece I have worked on for then on, has been about teamwork, collaboration, open mindedness and tapping the emotional depth into a multitude of subjects and styles.
