Summary
For the last 15 years, I have been creating imaginative characters, icons, and production assets, for everything from small indie games, to massive online giants. I specialize in 2D concept and icon creation, and have extensive experience in ready-to-ship UI implementation.
I have a great love of high energy teams, collaborative environments, and complex design challenges. I adapt quickly to new tasks, communicate effectively across multiple disciplines, and always strive to uplift any team I work with.
