I’m a background/vis dev artist focused on creating environments and visual development that help stories feel grounded and immersive. I enjoy designing scenes with clear visual storytelling, thoughtful composition, and an eye for mood, scale, and detail—so each setting supports the characters and the world they live in. I work from concept to polished background/visual development outputs, collaborating with teams to keep designs consistent across frames and assets. My goal is to deliver usable, production-ready art that matches the project’s style while adding my own creativity through strong design choices and careful visual refinement.

    Bonni The Hippo
    Bonni The Hippo is a personal children’s story project. The story follows a child and her unusual best friend, Bonni, a gentle, brown hippopotamus who mysteriously appears in the sky. Together, they share playful adventures, but as Bonni grows into a rather large problem for the family home, the child begins to understand that loving someone also means giving them the space they need to be happy. Through this project, I explored a whimsical and dreamlike approach to storytelling, focusing on expressive environment designs, warm character moments, and expressed the playful contrast between a small child and her enormous companion through the story moments illustrations.
