I am a big nerd. Ever since I was a kid I have wanted to create animated stories and inspire people to view the world as a positive place that can always change for the better. I started doing art as a means to express myself, especially after my childhood stroke that left me partly blind in my right peripheral vision. This causes me not to be able to drive in some states in America and other countries, and has been a major hurtle to get over through my teen years and adult life. The main reason I started doing art and making animation was to show people what homonymous hemianopia is like, as it's pretty confusing. Essentially, I can't see anything in my bottom right peripheral vision, take a look at some of my animations in "Growth" the ones with a rectangle in the bottom right; if you stare at the top left corner of the rectangle (or center of the composition) and there, ya got it. I can't see the rectangle. Anyway, I hope you enjoy taking a look at my portfolio, I'll keep updating it and making empathic work.
