Biography
I am a Concept Designer with a passion for creatures and world building in video game and film industry, always striving to match the needs of art direction and teammates. Researching is an important part of my process for making informed and unique design decisions, in order to make something new yet faithful to the creative vision of a given project.
I'm a U.S. citizen living in New York. Outside work hours I craft bird suet during winter, plants weird and colorful crops during spring and summer, and worship in the cult of Attenborough.
