I’m an artist based in New York City, working in games and illustration, with a wide experience in arts and music, specializing in IP design, illustrative works, and interactive storytelling. Aside from a strong foundation in fundamentals and and eye for design, my skills include, graphic design, painting, 3D modeling and texture work. I also have credits in music production and have a knack for story telling and sequential storytelling sensibilities for comics, animatics, or storyboards. I work mostly in games full-time and have my own personal projects. Contact me for any inquiries.
