About

Creative concept artist with experience developing character, environments and visual narratives across short films, freelance commissions and independent publishing. With a passion for dark fantasy, world building and storytelling, I have recently graduated with a 1st Class Honours in Concept Art with the highest mark across the cohort and was approached by independent professionals to adapt my self-published comic into a game. Alongside my studies I sought out opportunities to work directly with directors, clients and multidisciplinary teams. These experiences have made me confident at adapting artistic styles to fit established pipelines while bringing strong visual problem-solving and research to every project.
