About Me

I’m a concept artist living and working out of the delightfully moist Portland, Oregon. I specialize in entertainment design and illustration work. I have experience working from video games to commercial and film.

Being a part of an artistic culture outside of work is also very important to me. I enjoy taking part in those communities to broaden my skills, collaborate and encourage other artists. I have received several awards for my personal work and I always eagerly look forward to the next project.

I would be happy to do any pre-hire tests to determine if I have what you need. Feel free to contact me with any inquiries.
