I'm New York City based artist, working predominantly as a freelance illustrator and designer for games and media, with a wide experience in the arts, specializing in illustration, games, interactive storytelling, and IP creation. Aside from a diverse, traditional, foundation in art fundamentals, 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 art sensibilities.
