I’m an illustrator and digital artist based in upstate New York, trained in Digital Media Arts at Hudson Valley Community College. I work across traditional drawing and Adobe-based digital workflows, translating written descriptions into clear visual concepts—characters, locations, props, and narrative moments. My experience spans illustration, animation, 3D modeling, and graphic design, and as a freelance artist I continue to build cohesive worlds and designs that reflect strong storytelling and precise visual decision‑making. My work is driven by a passion for illustrating character designs and the worlds they inhabit. I focus on shaping the look, personality, and narrative purpose of each design, using mood, lighting, and composition to support the story being illustrated. Whether I’m creating a character sketch or developing an environment, I aim for visuals that feel intentional and alive.
