I am a passionate character artist whose mission is to craft life into characters from conceptual designs to finished production assets. I pride myself on the ability to learn quickly and am always ready to both receive and provide feedback to solve visual problems with creative solutions. I thrive in a team-oriented environment and do my best to create a family out of the communities I am apart of.

My goal is to be an innovative and efficient character artist for the game industry.
