about me

Hey! Thanks for stopping by to check out my work. My name is Cole and I grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Since the first Studio Ghibli film I watched, and the first Mario game I played, I knew I wanted to make video games and animated films. I became fully drawn toward storytelling through art, always aiming to dig deeper and tell stories with important representation; such as mental health or personal identity. Currently, I recently graduated from the Dodge College Animation program at Chapman University, also having studied Japanese. In my spare time, I love to cook delicious food, play video games, sing and dance, go on outdoor adventures, or just sit outside and read. Feel free to reach out through email, or text me directly as well!
