Hi! My name is Marcus Joseph Heyman, and I’m a passionate artist and visual storyteller currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Animation and Visual Effects at Drexel University. Ever since I was a child, I’ve been captivated by the power of the still and moving image to tell stories, stir emotion, and build expansive worlds. My journey began in first grade, when my art teacher, acclaimed artist Ricardo Roig, was so impressed by one of my paintings that he asked if he could keep it. I didn’t let him at the time, but that moment marked the beginning of a lifelong creative path for me. I later attended High Tech High School, where I was fortunate to explore a wide range of visual media through their Media and Visual Arts program. From Audio/Visual Production and Broadcasting to Graphic Technology, I experimented with many tools, but I ultimately fell in love with Interactive Media. That passion continues to shape my creative identity today.
In college, I’ve further developed my skills in digital illustration, 3D modeling, and visual effects using programs like Maya, Nuke, After Effects, and more. I’m particularly drawn to the process of building visual narratives for film, where I can combine storytelling with technical artistry. Whether I’m designing in 3D space, animating a scene, or even editing a short film, I’m always seeking new ways to bring stories to life. My dream is to one day work on visual effects for theatrical feature films, collaborating with a team who shares my love for cinema, innovation, and immersive storytelling.
