Gabriel is a commercial artist who runs a local crowd-sourced animation and video game design company that he started in 2009. His company provides creative services for the animation, film, visual effects and videogame industries. He has worked on a wide variety tech focused projects ranging from Assassin's Creed: Revelations to educational interactive exhibits at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC and Bishop Museum. He was born and raised on Maui and graduated from the Academy for Creative Media at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. A major part of his philosophy as an educator comes from the ongoing necessity for self directed learning and professional development required in the animation and videogame industries. As technology, software and techniques progress at a break neck pace, the most important skill to have is the ability to self direct and self instruct where no real instruction manuals exist. He began teaching at ‘Iolani School during college and has since continued his dual life as an educator and professional artist.
