Creative concept artist, illustrator, and sculptor with a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art. I’m detail-oriented, organized, and collaborative—experienced designing characters, environments, and visual assets for RPGs, comics, toys, theater, and game art, while also building and teaching hands-on art processes. I work across traditional and digital mediums, from acrylic/oil painting, graphite sketching, comic inking, and resin casting to Procreate, 3D design, printing workflows, screen printing, and instruction. I enjoy translating ideas into polished visuals that tell compelling stories.
