How did you discover your love for visual imagery? I picked up my first pencil at the age of two, and I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember. I have always been completely obsessed with visuals, whether it’s nature, fashion, vehicles or monsters. I can attribute my love for visual storytelling in film to the first time my dad showed me Ridley Scott’s
Alien secretly, when my mom was out of town, since an R-rated movie wasn’t appropriate for a nine-year-old! That movie left a tremendous impression on me, and showed me how different visual mediums like illustration, cinematography, acting and set design can come together and create an experience for the viewer.
