"MAGNET: A LESSON IN THE LAW OF ATTRACTION"
I am currently working on my senior graduation film as part of my bachelor's of arts degree in animation at UMBC. The film centers around a high school boy whose habit of sticking to people gets him tangled up with both a boy and a girl he has a crush on.

I created a short film for ART-387: Animation in the Physical World, in which I had to create a short animation using charcoal and only one sheet of paper. Each pose had to be drawn and then erased on that same paper repeatedly. The result is a hilarious take on what happens when a person gets too curious in one's pursuit of the new.
"SUBWAY" (work-in-progress) - 1:06
Based on my personal experiences riding the Washington, D.C. Metro, this short film was produced for the Intro to 2D Animation class I took in the Fall of 2021. Meticulous planning and analysis were done to make the setting and feel of the film as authentic as possible to those familiar with the D.C. Metro system.
