ABOUT

Creating characters for people to experience is my joy and passion.

I have 5+ years experience in the industry and I would describe myself a positive, empathetic and enthusiastic artist and I'm always looking for new ways for myself, and others around me, to grow and learn. I care deeply for the project I am involved with and the team making it, always striving for the highest standard.

I have experience in character and creature design, art direction and team leadership - I love art and all the challenges that come with it. Lets make cool things!
