About ME
I have been working in games since 2009 on such titles as Man Vs.
Wild: The Game for Discovery Channel to working on games for
Disney on various animated, live action, and feature properties; as
well as independent work for various clients.
One thing that really attracts me to the art of character is its heavy
relation with story. You can’t have a character without story and you
can’t have a story without character. I see it as a very symbiotic
relationship the two elements have and as a result I try to do story
work on the side such as book and comics.
