About

I’m a detail-oriented concept artist and illustrator based in the Bay Area with a passion for technology and storytelling. I translate project requirements into polished visuals, leveraging a solid foundation in illustration and concept design to help teams hit their creative targets.

My experience spans animation, game art, and promotional campaigns, including work with Powerhouse Animation Studio on Kong: Skull Island and Blood of Zeus. I enjoy collaborating across layout, color, lighting, and environment to craft immersive worlds while meeting tight deadlines.
