Biography
I have been a background designer, painter and visual development artist for companies such as Apple TV, Disney, CBS and Sesame Workshop. I absolutely love designing sets, maps and spaces for animation and like to bring in my culture when designing.
I am currently looking for full-time/freelance work!
