Collaborative Projects
This short film, titled "A Necessary Sacrifice", was made in 2024 in collaboration with a few other artists and animators as part of Bradley University's annual 12/12 animation contest. The contest challenges Bradley's Interactive Media students (or students from other disciplines) to gather in groups of 5 or so to create a short animated film in less than 24 hours. All submissions were judged by notable stop-motion animation professional Amy Greenspan in affiliation with Bradley University, and she nominated this film as 1st place!

The following animations here are part of a fully student-produced short film, titled "Ceryneia". This project was created over two semesters' time by a team of 7 students, including myself. I completed all line animation you see here and all other animation for the project pertaining to the deer and doe characters. This short film was shown in its completion along with other student short films and capstone projects at the Peoria Riverfront Museum in April 2024 as a part of FUSE - an annual Bradley-hosted Interactive Media event showcasing the works of Game Design, Game Art, UI/UX, and Animation departments.

Personal Projects
"Ethersoul" is a 2D Platformer solo-developed by yours truly as the final project for a game design class. It follows Lyra - our elvish main character - on their journey to find the source of alien energy that has plagued her forest and put an end to it, using the powers of the nature around her to traverse the dangerous landscape. All art elements, animation, concepts, mechanics, music, and code was created by me. Here's a showcase of some of my favorite animations from our player character, Lyra, and her various animal forms:

This is a special animation project done as a part of an animation class final. It's circular shape is designed to let it show under the the Peoria Riverfront Museum's Planetarium dome rather than a flat screen, so that the visuals will cover the entire surrounding space to create a fully immersive experience. It was shown under that planetarium dome during Bradley's FUSE event in 2025.
