I'm a Los Angeles-based visual development artist and art director with a Master of Arts in Visual Development from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. I specialize in cinematic storytelling, character design, and worldbuilding for film, animation, video games and immersive projects. With a foundation in fine art and psychoanalysis, I bring a unique perspective to creating nuanced, emotionally resonant narratives. My work blends meticulous design with a distinct visual language, balancing dark whimsy and delicate realism to support compelling stories. I've exhibited internationally, including at Zona Maco in Mexico City, and collaborate with creative teams worldwide to develop strong artistic direction, style guides, and concept pipelines. Moodboard exploration and visual development for Lilith’s Place — an abandoned glasshouse overtaken by lush, surreal mutations. Final production concepts emphasize organic asymmetry, diaphanous materials, and surreal botanical mutations. Cinematic storytelling, color scripts, and look development informed the final designs, with collaborative processes to build style guides and concept pipelines for a cohesive narrative world.…I'm a Los Angeles-based visual development artist and art director with a Master of Arts in Visual Development from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
