Born with a steady crayon craving, I grew up drawing my way in and out of dreamland. Continually seeking to hone my art skills as I came of age, I earned a Bachelor of Media Arts as an Animation major while attending the Emily Carr University of Art + Design, in Vancouver, BC. Post-graduation, I immersed myself within the casino gaming industry as an artist and animator, creating vivid visuals amid endlessly spinning slot reels. Spending the next several years in the gaming industry, I climbed the ranks moving from artist/animator, to lead animator, and ultimately lead artist. In 2014, I transitioned from art and animation work on a full-time basis to a contractual basis, and launched ADO Works, an art studio through which I have begun creating personal works of art. With a newfound reconnection to my artistic roots, I continue to branch out in both familiar and new mediums, as I seek new artistic endeavours and further growth as an artist.
