Education

Art major
Simulation, Animation and Gaming minor
 

December 2018 graduate with a bachelor's of arts degree in Arts and a minor in Simulation, Animation and Gaming from Eastern Michigan University. The Arts program at EMU allowed me to refine my drawing skills, including figure drawing, and work with colors. The SAG program, from EMU's Technology College, focused on story development, rigging, modeling, animation, lighting and camera work in 3D.

Post-graduation, I have taken additional classes in social media marketing, graphic design and digital design at Cuyahoga Community College.

Digital Art & Design graduate
 

Graduate of the Digital Art and Design program for high school students at the Polaris Vocational School in Middleburg Heights, Ohio. The two-year program, taken in conjunction with core education classes at North Olmsted High School, focused on using Adobe Creative Suite programs to build digital art and designs for commercial art and advertising industries.

Background

Aspiring animator and graphic designer

I have a long interest in developing animation and other digital skills, working both on my own and enrolling in special digital design classes during high school in the Cleveland, Ohio, area. I chose to attend Eastern Michigan University because of its Simulation, Animation and Gaming program, but switched my major to art to better hone my drawing skills. I have a particular interest in 2D animation and drawing, but am capable of using a variety of digital art programs and am familiar with social media marketing. Consider allowing me to be a part of your team. Examples are available upon request — owenexner@gmail.com.
