Biography

I've been passionate about entertainment design and video games most of my life. After finishing a degree in Business Administration I decided to make the career switch to graphic design and concept art in order to follow my passion. Since then I was lucky enough to work as a concept artist intern for Talespin in the Netherlands and a local mobile game developer (Flying Sheep Studios in Cologne, Germany). I had the pleasure to work with a great Art Director at Talespin. During my time at Flying Sheep we shipped several mobile titles and I was involved in the process from start to finish. For the last two years I have been working as a Freelance Concept Artist. My clients include Finger Industries (UK), Cubic Fall Games (US) and Rho Labyrinths (Germany).
