I am a passionate visual development and concept artist with extensive experience in 2D and CG games, TV animation, and documentary art. Over the years, I have worked on character design, background painting, UI design, and marketing assets for clients including Age of Learning Inc. and Disney Jr. My artistic approach blends traditional media such as oil paint and gouache with digital tools, creating rich and immersive visuals. Living in Los Angeles, I thrive in collaborative environments where I can contribute ideas and refine them closely with directors and art leaders. I enjoy crafting engaging characters, detailed environments, and compelling visual stories that enhance narrative experiences across media platforms.
