Development Artist at Spin Master

Worked with Art Director Mu y Levy across 4 IPs, creating unique concepts, elaborating on previous artists' work, analyzing and applying feedback from focus group testing, and fleshing out concepts from the toy designers' department into engaging worlds capable of developing across media (games, books, shows, toys, experiences, etc.). Created over 20 targeted mood boards containing design reference, technical reference, toy research, and style inspiration for a variety of IPs and projects. Designed poster illustrations for use in pitching IPs to the CEO, Marketing department, and outside studios for purchase.

Senior Character Design at ShadowMachine

Designed hundreds of character concepts, turnarounds, special poses, and more to maximize appeal, clear acting, and communicate unique character personality within the restraints of the source material. Suggested updated model sheet requirements resulting in the inclusion of isolated designs of any patterns, logos, graphics, etc. that were incorporated in the turnarounds sent to production. Took initiative in creating several design libraries including a crowd style guide/asset kit for crowd heavy episodes, a library of down incidentals for populating establishing shots, and designing distance models of varying sizes.

Prop Design at Cartoon Network

Worked with Art Directors Jenifer Goldburg and Sandra Lee to design props and effects that both fit into the world of Adventure Time and added to the visual storytelling and mood required. Helped Lead Character Designer Becky Dreistadt implement last minute notes from the creator in adding additional detail to long shot crowd style frames, ensuring deadlines were met. Created 3D block in model of BMO's spaceship for use in turnarounds and layout blocking.
