Biography

I'm a creative and hands-on Product Design graduate, looking for an opportunity to use my diverse skill set in a role as a Concept Artist. I am reliable, positive and self-motivated and eager to learn. I've always enjoyed the iterative process in design and during my Product Design degree, I found out about Concept Art. After I graduated I started watching FZD School, Trent Kaniuga and others to learn more about Concept Art and 6 months later, I started Introduction to Illustration and Concept Art at CG Spectrum. After completing this course, I knew this is what I wanted to do.
