I’m a 44-year-old creative professional with a diverse journey in the art world. My background includes a degree in Fine Arts, a Postgraduate degree in Digital Animation, and a Technical degree in Graphic Design. My career started as a web designer, and I evolved into a freelance designer. In the early 2000s, I founded a web design company where I managed projects and served as Art Director. Exploring new avenues, I transitioned to become a freelance illustrator, contributing to advertising and licensing markets.

Later on, my wife and I sought a better quality of life and moved to a new city. Together, we founded a visual arts and music school. At the school, I taught classical drawing and painting, mentoring aspiring professionals in the illustration, gaming, and animation industries. I also co-managed relationships with parents and an 8-member teaching team. After a decade in this role, we sold the business, relocated to a new country, and continued our journey of growth and exploration.

Currently, I provide online mentorship for aspiring young artists seeking professional development. Additionally, I work as a freelance illustrator for card games and book covers. I’m now pursuing opportunities to contribute my creative skills in a collaborative environment, whether in gaming, animation, publishing, or advertising. My expertise spans storyboarding, character and environment concept art, and illustrations, using workflows that include 2D, 3D, and VR technologies.
