ABOUT ME
As a 90's kid, television was like a second parent to me. I grew up watching plenty of Saturday morning cartoons, anime in the evenings and a whole lot of Nintendo games (from N64 to every Nintendo console after). My love for film, animation and video games led me to become an artist at a young age.
I started by tracing Pokémon with a light table at my Uncle's comic book studio, DreamWave. I've always been immersed in production art and development, so it naturally became my career path as an adult. I've always been passionate about entertainment and continue to bring that passion through my work in developing creative projects.
