When I was small, maybe after I watched Dragonheart or Eragon for the first time. I've always wanted to work creatively it's fun making up new designs for characters be it humans or creatures.

When I was about 13 or 14

I've always taken a keen interest in the visual studies and interpretations of our diverse cultures and environments, and a huge part of this was the drive behind my creative calling. Having grown up on Sci-fi films and television, I was drawn to the artistic methodologies employed by these artists whose works made a positive impact on my artistic journey. For the longest time, I aspired to become like these personal heroes and hope to inspire many more budding artists in the making.

I realised i want to do game art since 12 years old.

It was probably in my last year of high school that I first realised I wanted to work in the creative media and entertainment industry. During my high school days, I started to be more interested in cartoons and video games, and how they are made. I got inspired by my favourite shows and games to pursue a career in the creative media and entertainment industry.
