About

I’m a concept artist, set designer, and matte painter with over a decade of experience across film, gaming, and animation. I specialize in visual development, storyboarding, and environment/world-building, with a strong fine-art foundation and a love for narrative illustration and sequential storytelling.

I’ve worked with major international studios and brands, including HBO, Disney, and Epic Games, delivering high-quality concept art, advanced matte paintings, turnaround sheets, and layout/UI mockups. From character and environment design to callout sheets and publishing illustrations, I enjoy building immersive worlds and translating creative ideas into clear, production-ready visuals.
