About

I’m an art-focused Bachelor of Fine Arts graduate with a strong foundation in visual communication, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. I enjoy turning ideas into detailed, high-quality illustrations and digital assets, and I’m especially drawn to game and concept art work where style, accuracy, and storytelling all matter.

In my freelance and game-industry experience, I’ve conceptualized and produced artwork for clients, and also contributed as a Concept/Asset Artist and Art Director for an indie 2D platformer. I lead and collaborate with teams, oversee visual direction and quality, and use tools like Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, Unity, and Substance Painter to bring assets from rough concepts to polished deliverables.
