    I have been drawing my whole life, and along the way I have picked up the ability to emulate style well. I am confident that I can bend my style to fit whatever your project needs. I commit my all to any project I'm participating. I have a well trained eye for design and love to tweak and play with colors and forms. In my process, I do most of my preliminary work on paper, and then clean up and refine in digital with my Wacom tablet. My favorite kind of work is illustration, primarily monsters and characters.

    If I were to describe myself with my strengths, I would categorize them as this; Teamwork, Determination, Quality output, Attention to detail, and dedication to my skills. I often see myself as a open minded Designer who thinks in all creative aspects. Being a 3D Artist for 4 years, has given me a foundation to open myself to any sort of software or design that is new to me and turn that into a new skill. If I were to objectify myself I would consider a sponge: it absorbs water as much as possible to clean any surface efficiently. In short- I love to gain new information and understand new techniques/methods to refine my skills, so that I could produce better results. My passion is designing through creativity, I see creativity in everything I learn. weather its Designing, 3D Art/User Interface.
