Welcome!

The past 10 years of my life has been committed to expanding my creativity. After receiving my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Web design, I have mastered the ability to create the best graphic designs for both print and web, by applying intense theoretical knowledge of visual communication.

I have continued my ambitions of enhancing my web development skills by getting involved with more back-end (server-side) programming with PHP to develop more complex web systems to provide a greater, more dynamic user experience to my websites.

I have also taken it one step further. After receiving my Masters Degree in Special Effects Animation, I decided to enhance my design portfolio with 3D Animation. In the world of 2d, as a graphic web designer, we are able to create animation using the great Adobe Flash program to build websites that become more interactive and fun. But the world of 3D Animation is creating real-world-like animations connected to characters and events that tell a story for the user to connect to. It involves a combination of design skills with the understanding of motion and kinematics.

My portfolio is divided into three areas: Graphic Design, Web Design, and 3D Animation. Choose where to begin!

Graphic Design

Graphic design is simply visual communication in any shape, fashion, or form. Graphic design has been used in various forms, but the principle of design is using a combination of typography and images to visually communicate effective presentation. Information that is presented using graphic design comes from using critical creative thinking and visual artistic expression as well as understanding page layout, color schemes, and the complete printing process. These skills are produced by using programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign (or Quark).

Web Design

I am a solid PHP Developer and Graphic Designer with skills in a number of programs and languages that allow for me to produce high quality web design and User Experience. I am involved with creating complex login/registration systems using back-end database queries with SQL and design that has the best database normalization structure for exponential growth.

3D Animation

I was born in the world of 3D Animation using the Cinema 4D program, but I have evolved into using the high-end Autodesk Maya program for creating complex character design and special effects animations simulating real-world events and low/high polygon count models rigged to perfections.

I have design characters to use the FBIK system while applying MO-Cap (Motion Capture) technology seamlessly. Compositing and rendering (in layers) are done using Adobe After Effects using blend modes and layering effects for final output. Please see my portfolio for examples...
