What do you like most about what you’re doing?

It’s fun to be consistently making work and trying out different styles.

Student film projects: Does Your Heart Break, Clara Luz, The Farmer

Stillborn

Professional work: Costume assistant with Hardline Films

The Bowling Ballad: Stylist and Costume Designer

What classes and learning experiences at CMI were the most valuable in building towards your current job?

Digital Illustration is probably the class I learned the most for what’s necessary for my current job. The most important lesson I learned is to design personal projects so that you can learn what you’re the most interested in.

What are you doing when you aren’t working?

Drawing, playing dnd [sic], spending time with friends and cats or being on short film shoots.

What’s some advice you would give a CMI student (or maybe potential CMI student) about their time at CMI?

What you put into your education is what you’ll get out of it. Keep a healthy work life balance. Experiment in college artistically when there are little to no consequences. Take a walk to clear your head!

Where can people see your work?
