Biography

I have eight years of experience working in games, plus a background in TV and animation. I've worked as Art Director, Visual Development Artist, and Concept Artist for several games and animated series, both 2D and 3D. I have defined the style for several products from scratch, and also worked with established licences, adapting myself to different styles. I have experience in managing small teams, briefing and checking deliveries, and communicating with external suppliers. This year I started my own indie games company after being awarded a grant from the UK Games Fund. Check out our upcoming game "Puerto Viejo" on Steam!
