When I was 16 I stumbled across Conceptart.org online and realised that this passion I had for drawing could actually be turned into a potential career path. Ever since I have worked hard to make that dream a reality.

When I was young, I love Disney movies and it makes me want to be an artist and create characters and illustrations. I wasn't sure what kind of artist I want to be at that age but I know that I wanted to be involved in the art industry. I was drawing non stop ever since. After I graduated from The One Academy College, I had a clearer understanding of the art working industry and I know that I want to be a concept artist and illustrator.

I was always aiming to work in the creative industry since I'm always more interested in creating things than solving math. I'm growing up by being amazed by reading comics, watching animation and playing games, all that little by little becomes a part I can never give up of myself.

Game Art is the perfect combination of creative and technical challenges. When I first tried out 3D I fell in love with both sides. It's all about finding the balance between amazing Artwork and Performance, pushing it with the resources you got to the best possible outcome.

I've always enjoyed drawing, observing and understanding the world around me. Although it wasn't later in life that I realised all the worlds I dreamed up and put to paper was what concept designers do. Just completed my bachelor's degree in architectural studies and am currently building up a concept design portfolio.

My passion for story telling started when I was a kid. I started working in the mobile games industry as a Game Artist after graduating from college, and eventually moved onto a Producer role. Although I loved the people that I worked with, the job itself didn't satisfy my craving for creating worlds and characters. I eventually wrapped up my last game and decided to pursue a career in Concept Art, hoping to realize these worlds I have in my mind on the big screen or in games.

Ever since I can remember I have been fascinated with animated films and video games, at a young age I appreciated the artistry and craftsmanship even if I didn't know it. It made me excited to make games of my own with interesting characters and locations that are memorable. Ever since I've been working on my craft .
