Biography

Greetings! I am an Illustrator and Concept Designer based in Toronto Canada, currently working in the entertainment industry. My goal is always to reproduce the same joy and immersion I received from games, film and graphic novels growing up. I’m always trying to improve my storytelling and find new ways to visually communicate my ideas. I'm a life long student and currently have an obsession with world history, I've been enjoying diving deeper into the origins of architecture. In the workspace I'm an enthusiastic creative who loves to solve problems and arrive at solutions with a laugh along the way. Thanks for checking out my profile, feel free to reach out anyway you're comfortable with and check my portfolio link for expanded design process and packages.
