Tell us your story:

I'm currently finishing up my last year at Pratt Institute as a 3d/Digital Animation major and Art History minor. While I've pursued CG as my medium of choice, my senior project will actually feature a blend of both traditional 2d full and limited animation, straight-ahead animation, and CG.

About Me:

I was born in Moscow, Russia and came to the States when I was a year old. I moved to Northern Virginia after a living one year in New York, and came back to Brooklyn three years ago to attend Pratt Institute. I don't really know what's in store for me in the future, but I'm pretty excited to find out.
