About
Hi, I’m Jonathan Gomez, a CGI generalist and illustrator based in San José, Costa Rica (CST). I specialize in character and prop design, background art, and visual development for gaming and casino projects, and I love turning concepts into polished, player-focused visuals.
I’ve spent 9+ years working on complete art pipelines for slot games—leading art direction from pre-production through launch—and I’m also certified as a Scrum Master. I enjoy collaborating remotely with US and Canadian teams, using clear communication and iterative planning (Jira/Trello) to keep art quality high and delivery on schedule.
