I have a masters in 3D animation, however in this field no one cares about your diploma. Employers care about one thing, your demo reel. Paying high tuition for my degree was so traumatic, I set out to teach everything I learned as an animator on Skillshare so no one else has to break the bank to learn these skills like I did. I believe that higher education and skill building should be accessible to everyone, please support my work if this resonates with you too.

I plan to make about 50-100 animation courses on skillshare. Each building on top of the other. Because truth be told it takes 2 years of a consistent effort to become a professional animator.

My curriculum is designed to get you there. Simply watch one of my courses in order per week and do the exercises and you'll become a pro in no time!

But remember to try your best and practice with me! You won't learn anything simply by watching.

I'm also weird that in the past I was a self help author

I struggled with mental health issues every since I was 5 years old. Back then I did nothing but watch the only cartoon channel that was available back then. The english version of cartoon network. During my entire childhood I did almost nothing but play videogames, watch television, browser the internet or watch porn all day. I almost never did anything productive, which only made my depression stronger.

Things got even worse when I was 13 years old; I experienced my first major panic attacks. It got so bad that at one point an ambulance had to take me home every week.

All that changed when I turned 16 and became obsessed with every form of self-help therapy imaginable. That didn't stop my downfall; I suffered a major psychotic episode in 2009 and became catatonic for over a year.

The road to recovery from then on was excruciating. I was unable to receive proper professional help, forcing me to rely on self-help courses that failed to meet all of my needs, but at least allowed me recover sufficiently to go to college to study psychology.

It was only when I thoroughly researched self-help techniques that I came to understand their scientific basis, allowing me to help myself completely.

I managed to not only alleviate my panic disorder and other mental problems, I also managed to recover from my crippling addictions to: video games, television, porn and the internet.

I've since dedicated my life to help other people who suffered from similar issues as I did by providing accessible and evidence based self-help courses on udemy since skillshare doesn't allow that heh.

I know the combo of psychology+ 3d animation is weird, but my life had it's up and downs.
