INTRODUCTION

I was previously working as a Lead Character Artist at the Obsidian Entertainment working on the Aliens RPG for next generation consoles. Also previously, I worked as a Lead Artist at the Collective Studios working on the Next-Generation Console title, 'Dirty Harry' based on the 70’s hit movie series.

I have experience managing up to 12 artists for the project as well as giving directions to 3 different outsource-companies for concept, character and props.

I’m very good at understanding/following/creating art style for projects and I make sure other artists follow the art style and other asset pipeline rules. I’m also very organized and excellent on asset data management.

With 12 years of experience in the game industry, I’ve worked on hit titles such as 'Star Wars Episode 3- Revenge of Sith', 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', 'Septerra Core' as a Concept Artist, a Storyboard Artist, a 2D Artist, a 3D Character Artist and an Animator using all major 2D/3D professional software packages.

With a background of Interior Architecture and Computer Animation (MFA, BFA) and Graphic Design (BFA) and 10 years of 3D modeling/Animation experience and 3 years of management experience, I’m an all-around Digital Artist.
