Concept designer and illustrator with formal training in media concept art and illustration, plus six years of games-industry experience. I specialize in character and creature design, environment art, and UI/HUD—owning visual direction end to end from first sketches through implemented assets, while adapting to established art styles and iterating quickly against evolving direction.

All artwork is created by hand without generative AI tools.…Concept designer and illustrator with formal training in media concept art and illustration, plus six years of games-industry experience.
