    I worked on https://milafilm.com/ for a couple of years in various roles. I was primarily a LookDevelopment Supervisor. In this role, I was in charge of defining the look of textures and shaders for the short film. I also performed the role of Director of Creative Development. Within this role, I provided mentoring and training to volunteers to produce the assets needed for the film. I also used my network to recruit new talent and get free software for the production.

    Smart Kids Make Smart Choices

    Children

    Smart Kids Make Smart Choices is a non-profit organization focused on helping kids stay out of alcohol, drugs, bullying, and sexting. http://smartkidsmakesmartchoices.com/history/

    I started helping the organization with printed designs. Their mission is great and I think they can do better if I help them revamp their visual image. It will take me some time but I think it is a very good cause and they really need some help.
