Hi, I'm Via. I'm an animator.

Over years of being an animation geek, I've gone from watching cartoons, to learning about them, to making them. I've got a passion for making things move -- I use this medium to make content that sticks with people.

​

I'm an alumni of the Savannah College Art and Design, where I earned my B.F.A. in 2D and 3D animation
