I'm an illustrator and concept artist. I have over six years of experience working on storyboards, character design, comic books (pencils, ink, lettering and color), illustrations for books, video games, and more. I use Adobe Photoshop and traditional media (watercolors, pencils and ink). I can work in a great variety of styles; I personalize the painting style for each project, so it fits the needs of my clients and the project itself.

With experience ranging from freelance projects to working at studios of all sizes, I bring a strong balance of time management, quality, and budget awareness to every project. I currently work as a freelance concept artist and illustrator, specializing in characters, props, and promotional illustrations. Over the past 7 years, I've focused primarily on concept art, combining creativity with clarity to bring ideas to life. My previous roles include Lead Illustrator and Concept Artist at Cast & Play and Dun Rite Games, as well as Environment Artist at MPC, the Oscar-winning VFX studio, where I contributed to major film productions. I have a versatile skill set and believe that great communication is key to a successful collaboration. I'm available during working hours to share progress, answer questions, and incorporate feedback in real-time. Looking forward to connecting and helping bring your project to life!
