Summary
I've been a designer full-time for over two decades, and I am now working to fulfill my younger dream of becoming a concept artist. I prefer environments and hard-surface, but I like to try a bit of everything so that I understand the entirety of the pipeline.
I graduated in December 2020 with a Bachelor's in Game Art and Development, Summa Cum Laude, a process I began a couple of years ago in order to help transition my graphic design skills into the gaming and entertainment industries.
