What brought you to RIT?

I found RIT in Dallas viewing people’s portfolios. I didn’t have one as a junior in High School, but I went to see prospective schools and RIT was the one college with Game Design and 3D Graphics. Knowing I wanted to be in one of those majors, I entered the college.

What is your greatest aspiration after graduation?

I would like to have a steady job in design, preferably designing characters for games or animations. Eventually, I’d like to have my own design studio where I do commissions for many companies and begin branching out to designing for interiors, fashion, or for industrial purposes.

How do you feel about your major?

It wasn’t actually my first choice, but it’s a great major with students who aren’t so cutthroat that they’ll leave you high and dry. In fact, we all work very well together and learn much more that way.

What is your most impressive accomplishment so far?

I would say that becoming an OA is pretty impressive as is helping put on a performance for a convention. I’d say the most impressive thing of all though would be attaining Eagle rank. Now that is an accomplishment.

What are you most passionate about?

This is an easy one; art. I love all forms of art from design to photography and definitely music. I’ve been trying to compose some music utilizing different sound patterns lately, and I find this combined with imagery definitely fulfills the artistic side of me.
