Biography

I'm a freelance artist since 2012 working as a character designer, 2d animator, storyboarder, illustrator, comic artist and caricature artist.

I've worked with a small studio called Heroes of Color since then where my role has been in the above categories. I've also worked with individual clients to create artwork for their small businesses and film projects and music videos.

I love the creative process and like to learn how to improve my craft.
