I’ve always been passionate about animation, games, and real-time rendering, inspired by Disney, Pixar, and Anime from a young age. With a Master’s Degree in Architecture and Urban Planning, my early career in architectural visualization taught me the art of functional design. After that, I took a deep dive into the game and animation industry, where I’ve worked as an Art Director, Art Lead, Senior 3D Artist, and yes, even as a Character Artist! With over 19 years of experience and my own studio, Essential Studio, I’ve led creative teams, optimized environments, and—let’s face it—I’ve had to wrangle some pixelated characters into shape too!

In my downtime, I’m also a vinyl DJ (yes, the kind with actual records!) and music producer. My ultimate dream? Merging my two passions and creating animations and games with awesome soundtracks to match.🎮🎶
