About

I’m a Visual Artist and Character Designer with over a decade of freelance experience, focused on building expressive characters and polished visual storytelling. I enjoy shaping original concepts from early sketches and moodboards into characters with clear silhouettes, thoughtful color systems, costume details, and narrative-driven artwork.

I also create custom HTML/CSS web layouts for art portfolios, landing pages, and community-focused web experiences, combining interface styling with responsive navigation, galleries, and content sections. Whether I’m collaborating on studio work or designing independently, I bring consistent visual direction, creative problem-solving, and a welcoming, engaging digital experience to everything I build.
