Summary
I’m an artist with professional experience in film, animation, and video games. After a successful freelance career, I'm looking to find a more permanent workplace in-house with a great studio. I have a vivacious passion for stories and for providing visuals that enhance those stories. My specialties are designing visually compelling backgrounds, cinematic key frame illustrations, and appealing character designs. I can’t wait to help bring your narrative to life.
