I'm a storyboard artist and visual storyteller who thrives in collaborative environments where ideas become storyboards, animatics, and pre-visualizations that guide production. I enjoy shaping clear, engaging narratives through imagery and work to translate concepts into visuals that help teams align and move projects forward. My background includes digital art and concept art for Bruce Eberts, plus mentorship experiences with world-class artists from Lucasfilm and Warner Bros. Pictures Animation. I bring strong color theory, composition, and iterative design to every project, and I'm proficient in Photoshop, Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, and Blender. I value feedback and always aim to turn ideas into refined visuals that tell compelling stories.
