I'm a multidisciplinary artist with over 18 years of experience in concept art, character design, 2D illustration and animation. I’ve collaborated with brands and studios across gaming, animation and advertising, delivering cohesive visual styles and high-quality art for projects from casual mobile games to feature films. I love mentoring teams, refining pipelines, and teaching traditional drawing and painting techniques. When I'm not sketching, I enjoy sharing knowledge with students and guiding artists through production to help them grow while bringing ambitious visuals to life.…I'm a multidisciplinary artist with over 18 years of experience in concept art, character design, 2D illustration and animation.
