Hello!

​

My name is Cheyenne. I am from Albany, NY. Ever since I was young, I have always been drawn to games and old 2D cartoons. While watching my brother play games one day, I realized that he was learning more from playing the game than from learning in school.

 

This got me thinking. What if I make games that are both fun to play and educational? This question is what drove me to learn more. I wanted to reach a new height in understanding my own goals and where my future might take me. After taking an interest in art, I got accepted into the University of Hartford in Connecticut. While in school, I began studying everything I could to get closer to the game industry. This includes anything to do with design and illustration. 

​

Then when I thought that those subjects were the closest that I could get, I ran into Animation. Animation opened up an entirely new field of learning for me. Igniting a new passion and drive in me as I felt a step closer to my goal. I am still striving for my goal with this spark of inspiration today, which is how I ended up taking classes online at the Academy of Art University!
