Lake Day - Senior Project
My 2D animation, Lake Day, explores five forest friends’ close-knit bond as they embark on a fun-filled day on the lake. Inspired by the place I grew up, Lake of the Ozarks, Lake Day features comically giant boats and busy boat traffic surrounded by the beauty of the lake. My hometown holds a special place in my heart and guides my creative process which is based primarily in digitally hand-drawn stories. While the day on the lake does not go exactly as planned, with a few bumps along the way, the characters embrace their friendship and end up having an enjoyable and memorable day. I create art that evokes a variety of emotions from my audience, but most of all, happiness. I strive to create wholesome content with a slight sense of humor.
Firefly Festival - Short Animation
Firefly Festival follows the journey of a character named Mushy. The Firefly Festival is the event of the year for the mushroom villagers. The festival take place every year on the summer solstice, and this year, young Mushy gets to partake in the tradition of waking up the fireflies from hibernation and releasing them into the night sky. Mushy is super excited to participate in the festival, but will he have what it takes to catch a firefly?
