My passions for the arts go back as far as I can remember, as I have been drawing and coming up with characters since I could hold a pencil. In fact, when I was in preschool, I used to get in trouble for drawing the alphabet as life-like characters instead of writing it out normally. Beyond this memory, I spent the entirety of my public-school career in drawing, and art related classes. From these classes I gained years of experience in hand rendering drawings, molding ceramics, working in theatre tech, and even acting in plays and musicals. Beyond these classes, I also spent many years producing music and creating artwork in my free time. As a kid, these influences gave me a lot of time to be creative, spending many years crafting and developing my own style. From this, I was able to develop a strong portfolio of artworks, which granted me admission to Nevada State College, beginning the pursuit of my BFA in animation. After my first semester at NSC, I realized that the school was for me, as I wanted more out of my animation career than what Las Vegas had to offer. For this reason, I then applied to RMCAD, where not only was I granted admittance, but I was also awarded their highest paying portfolio scholarship. This gave me great pride, and following this, I did an amazing job in my first year of classes, even making the Dean’s List my freshman year. It was within this first year that I began developing my platform, RiGWorldStudios. Under this name, I began publishing some of the artwork and videos I would make for my assignments in class, developing a small following for my artwork. It was from this effort that I was noticed by individuals who work in the entertainment industry, and I was offered my first major job, working as Script Supervisor and Creative Consultant on an unreleased documentary about the homeless community in Las Vegas. It was here I worked approximately 12 hours a day, for about two months, working between different film sets and a large crew. From this opportunity, I gained many connections which have landed me other job offers and collaborations. With this experience under my belt, I am humbly in search of new opportunities in California that can take me even further in entertainment career. Not only do I have great experience in writing content, creating assets, editing video, and publishing content, but I am also great at working on a team.
