I am a graduate of the Foundations to Concept Art and Illustration course at Algonquin College in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and currently working as an Assistant BG supervisor and BG Location Designer/Painter as well as a Concept Artist. Years ago, I decided to go back to school and follow my passions: video games, cartoons and art; and turn a hobby into a career that I enjoy doing every day. I believe that my experience as a team member in fast-paced environments combined with my education and drive will make me an asset to your art team. My experience in background paint and my education in art (almost forgot years of bad sketches nobody was allowed to see) have not only helped me become a well-rounded employee, but also convinced me that I can adapt and work on any show and style in the industry. I can handle tight deadlines and the constant changing of ideas. I am positive that I can use this experience to better myself as an artist and to apply it on any form of media I'm asked to work on.
