Welcome to my
Portfolio
Hello, My name is
Or you can call me Alex. I graduated from Purdue with a B.S. in Animation and minoring in Art & Design studio, currently pursuing an M.F.A. in Animation at SCAD.
My primary focus is 3D environment with a particular interest in texturing and lighting. A few of my other area of interests include animation, life-drawing and photography, which can be found through browsing my website. I'm in love with the craft and I take every opportunity to learn new things while also improving on current skills.
The following are some of my favorite projects and artworks, they are also examples of what I'm capable of.
