Experienced
With over 20 years in commercial & independent art, I have developed a deep understanding of design, visual communication, and creative problem-solving. My work spans storyboarding, previsualization, animation, and print, balancing artistic direction with commercial objectives while ensuring strategic execution and high standards in delivery.
Versatile
Skilled across multiple disciplines, from traditional drawing with pencil and ink to 3D design, digital modeling, and animation. This adaptability allows me to take a strategic, solution-driven approach to creative challenges—bridging conceptual thinking with practical execution and project management.
