I am a digital artist with over six years of experience specializing in concept design, illustration, and game-ready art. I have a passion for storytelling, visual world-building, and collaborative workflows that allow me to thrive in dynamic, team-oriented environments. I enjoy transforming creative briefs into immersive visual experiences. I consistently dedicate a portion of my days to personal growth by expanding my visual library, improving techniques, and discovering new methods. This daily exercise keeps my mind active and fosters self-critical thinking, enabling me to analyze and improve my visuals while making my work more efficient. I apply these studies both to general exercises and my personal project, Artificium.
