About

Multidisciplinary creative expressionist. I am a dark/ fantasy artist that is passionate about concept art, graphic design, character design, and key art. My personality type is INFJ.

Looking to make story-based work with personality and appeal. Studied Graphic + Interactive Communication at Ringling College of Art + Design. 2006—2010 Bachelor of Fine Arts. Creating innovative solutions for print and digital media in the Graphic Design program. Ringling College is a top graphic design school, where students are technically skilled and highly competitive.

MISSION
The ultimate goal I am currently striving towards in my career is to join Activision Blizzard or the Walt Disney Animation Studios as a Character Designer or Look Development artist. I believe my skills in abstraction mastered through Graphic Design, premium shape language and unique color choices will make me a strong candidate for production of video games. I look forward to showcase my Look Development portfolio before the end of year. It is being built as a labor of love and a testament of my desire to produce AAA video game worlds.

PASSION
Aside from Art + Design, I take special interest in the Aerospace industry. Technology in general fascinates me, and being exposed to aeronautic engineers has further deepened my love for spacecraft design. I design space mission insignias for the aerospace industry, and have the privilege of having one of my creative designs currently being considered to become an official mission badge for a team of Mechanical Engineers in structures & mission control. To this date, one of the highest honors of my career.
