Hi!

Thank you for showing up to my portfolio website!

I’m Gabby, a 3D Sets Artist, from the Greater Philadelphia area.

I graduated from Drexel University in June 2021 with a Bachelor of Science in Animation & Visual Effects.

When I enrolled at Drexel, I had zero CGI knowledge. All I knew was that I had a passion for creating, and Animation & VFX seemed like the perfect fit for my love of art and technology.

The major turned out to be exactly the right fit for me. Taking classes such as “Material & Texture Creation,” “Lighting & Surfacing,” “Advanced Compositing,” “Procedural Modeling,” and learning software such as Autodesk Maya, Nuke, Houdini, Modo, Substance, CLO, etc. opened my eyes to the wide world of CGI.

I excelled in my academics and worked hard to improve my craft. Sophomore year, I was accepted into the Drexel in L.A. summer program and interned at Ingenuity Studios. Junior year, I landed a co-op during the COVID-19 pandemic at Dumpling House Media and worked remotely through the spring and summer terms of 2020. Senior year, my teammates and I finished our senior thesis short film, “Light Years Apart” and went on to become semi-finalists in the Student Academy Awards!

 Now, I emerge from Drexel with a dense toolbelt to take on my career, life experiences that have strengthened my creative voice, and great friends to share the journey. 

I hope to see you along the journey as well.

Thank you for your support!
