Available to hire
I am an art director, concept artist, illustrator, and storyboard artist based in Calgary, Alberta. I specialize in environment design, visual development, cinematic keyframes, production design support, and visual storytelling for film, television, and entertainment projects.
I have contributed to productions including HBO’s The Last of Us, Netflix’s The Abandons, FX’s Fargo, The Spiderwick Chronicles, Fraggle Rock, and Shogun. I bring a collaborative, design-focused approach to every project and work comfortably across traditional media, digital illustration, 3D tools, and emerging artificial intelligence applications.
