About

I am a passionate background artist with a deep love for colour and immersive storytelling. I find my greatest joy in collaboration and teamwork across animation and game projects. I’m always exploring new tools, guided by curiosity and a drive to expand what’s visually possible.

I enjoy working closely with directors, storyboard artists, and animation teams to create beautiful and consistent backgrounds. Let’s make something beautiful together!
