Summary

My goal is to design characters with unique visual aesthetics and storytelling elements.

Graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Game Art from Mount Ida College in 2018. There I was exposed to many possibilities within the game industry. I've always had a passion for drawing as well as character-driven stories. Motivated to improve, I am no stranger to researching solutions or brainstorming ideas with others. Naturally, I fell in love with the Concept Art pipeline.
