I like to design pretty pictures that capture the imagination. I am a creative individual with a knack for storytelling. I thrive in cooperative team environments, where creativity and learning is encouraged. I have 17 of years of experience working in the fast paced entertainment industry and I am always looking for fresh/creative ways to solve visual challenges, whether that be in using AI, 3D, or photography. I love passing my experience on to a new generation of artists, as well as learning new skills to add to my tool set.
On a personal level, I enjoy sound design, synthesizers and books . I’m a self proclaimed sci-fi /fantasy nerd, am always down for a game of D&D or Magic the Gathering, and I enjoy spending any free time with my family.
