Summary
Over the past twelve years, I'm lucky to have collaborated with talented artists and animators from across the game development industry. As a freelance artist, I've been able to broaden my skills and take on responsibilities that I wouldn't normally be exposed as a character artist in a larger studio setting, such as marketing, creating concept art, and task management/planning for future projects.
I graduated from The Guildhall at Southern Methodist University in 2009 with a Master of Interactive Technology and a Bachelor of Fine Art from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania in 2008.
