There are a lot of avenues for traditional artists in this industry so I decided to apply my talents and passions in this direction!

I have dreamt of working in videogames since first playing Halo CE.

I realize during the computer graphics course in the Computer Science program and when I had an assignment to recreate an older game. I enjoyed very much and was the work that motivated me to follow in this industry.

At first, it came as arts n crafts around 10 years old. Building up weapons and armor out of paper and cardboard. Bringing all the ideas I had in my head out in front of me. Running around my house pretending to be in a call of duty campaign. However, getting into high school was the first big step. Taking apart of some programming classes and learning all about the industry 3d Softwares. Building levels throughout unreal engine and unity. And designing any game ideas I could come up with!

The first time I realized I wanted to work in the media industry is probably the first time I consumed any form of media. More seriously, when my highschool guidance counselor informed me of a game design course, I knew then and there that it was what I wanted to do.

Since I was a child! My two life-long loves are drawing and video games, so wanting to be part of these industries came naturally.

I had always been playing and loving video games and movies since I was a child so I knew I wanted to work with them at a young age.

I have always wanted to be a 3d artist since high school in the mid-90s, however, it's only the last 5 years I turned it into a hobby. In order to increase my skills, develop a professional portfolio, and make contacts in the industry, I decided to take a 3yr Game Design course at Fanshawe College (London, ON).
