This is when he fell in love with Adobe Photoshop.
He would later enroll at Gibbs College in Norwalk, Connecticut, majoring in graphic design. This is where he received a degree in visual communications in 2008. Soon after, he started working with clients all around the world, providing high end graphics for musicians, films, websites, as well as a variety of other platforms. After designing still graphics for some time, he wanted to add movement to his images. It wasn’t long after this, that Jhonny started investing his time into learning video editing software, starting with Adobe Premiere Pro, as well as Adobe After Effects. At around this time, he also started diving into the field of stop motion animation. Jhonny currently has been involved in two award winning films, “What The Mouse”, and “White Man’s Curse”.
