Story With Pictures

Here’s my final project for my cinematography class! It’s a visual story told through a combination of still photos and a bit of stop motion. I had a lot of fun making it, and I hope you enjoy this silly…

I had the opportunity to participate in the STAR (Students Tackling Advanced Research) program at Drexel University, where I explored how AI can be used to bring history to life through animation. My project focused on recreating Charles Willson Peale’s…

This project was developed during Drexel University’s Star Program and focuses on the historical discovery of Peale’s Mastodon. Inspired by Charles Willson Peale’s written letters to his son, I created a short AI-generated film interpreting his account of the excavation.…

During my freshman year at Drexel University, I took Animation I, where I learned the fundamentals of animation, including core principles such as timing, spacing, squash and stretch, anticipation, and follow-through. This blog post showcases several of the animation exercises…

These projects were created during my freshman year at Drexel University as part of an introductory Houdini course. Throughout the class, I learned the fundamentals of procedural workflows, simulations, and node-based creation while gaining hands-on experience with Houdini’s tools. These…

This was a collaborative 3D environment project focused on a janitorial storage space. I was responsible for modeling and creating multiple assets, including the shop vac, bookshelves, mop bucket, faucet, and various cleaning supplies, as well as contributing to the…

For my Design Media 1 class, I had to make a short black-and-white animated video. For this, I focused on the lighting and silhouettes created by light in the dark. I chose to explore the concept of the monster under…

A detailed 3D model of a honey bee, originally created for a still life project and presented here as a standalone asset. The model was built in Maya, textured in Substance Painter, and rendered in Redshift, with a focus on…

A 3D still life recreation inspired by Helen Searle’s Still Life with Fruit and Champagne. This project focused on accurately translating traditional painting elements—lighting, composition, and material detail—into a digital environment. The scene was created using Maya, Redshift and Substance…

A self-initiated 3D project created during winter break following my first quarter at Drexel University. The chainsaw was modeled in Maya, textured in Substance Painter, and rendered in Redshift, with a focus on reinforcing modeling skills and improving material realism.
