I’m a character artist with over 15 years in the game industry. I’ve worked with game directors, producers, and led teams, but I also enjoy diving into solo projects.

I’m fast and prolific at sculpting, starting my journey at Naughty Dog and contributing to major titles across story-driven adventures, multiplayer shooters, and a sci-fi space sim.

Creating Beautiful Characters and engaging stories.
