I am a passionate artist with a great interest in storytelling through visual media. Having worked in developing styles for three released games, my work is rooted in the consistency of an arts style and the desire to make characters and environments feel alive to the player. Though games are my field of expertise, I take inspiration from comics and animation in my art. I am a flexible professional and can work in a range of different styles. Eager to learn beyond my current skill set, and thrive working in teams.
