Summary
My curiosity about the world is what drives my creativity and fuels my search for design solutions. I love creating worlds that are compelling and believable, and often find myself hungrily exploring all the information and reference I can find on a subject.
I'm passionate about storytelling, and have a deep appreciation for the many layers that make a story successful. As a designer, I try to consider all the richness of detail and subtlety that can reinforce the immersive quality of a world.
In an industry that is constantly evolving, with a bar that's always raising, I'm always hungry for new techniques, tools, and knowledge that improve my value as an artist and designer. My tools of choice these days are Blender and Photoshop.
