Concept Designer/Illustrator/Storyboard Artist
I’m an experienced and versatile artist who doesn’t just draw and paint what’s asked for in a brief;
I try to really dig into the idea, flesh it out thoroughly, come up with lots of details, and deliver a piece
that exceeds expectations and opens up new ideas for the project. I can design anything, but my
strengths are environment design, game level environment architecture, and hardware/vehicle prop design.
My illustration “Steampunk Tortoise & Hare” was selected to appear in
Ballistic Publishing's Exposé 7: The Finest Digital Art in the Known Universe art book.
