I have a degree in 3D animation and VFX, thanks to an animation film called Epic. I decided after that film I wanted to create art that made people feel that same excitement I felt. While I was studying I realised I love concept art and illustration. I took a semester in Concept art for games and that is how my love started for concept art.

As far back as I can remember I wanted to make movies and then later on I wanted to create crazy invention then I realized that what I actually wanted to do was create these inventions in the form of art and that evolved into wanting to create anything from fantasy worlds with the heroes and monsters in them, weather it is in the distant past an alternate present or some sci fi future world.

I first realized that I'm interested in the creative arts when I was in primary school during the days of Dragonball Z and Power Rangers when I use to try and recreate the characters on paper

After I watched a documentary about the "God of War 3" video game about its creation. The "God Of War" series is my most favorite narrative and gameplay of all time, and that documentary really helped tip me over towards Game Design and the creation of CG.

When I started playing video games more often with friends, around 2015, I gained a greater appreciation for the visuals of the world and the work that went behind it. I realized that I wanted to be part of either a team or individually, to create an emotion with the player as they explore the world. I want to help bring an environment to life, either with video games, or for a film or cinematic experience.

I made stop motion films before i knew what stop motion films were, I geuss that puts anyone on this path. Once I figured out that we can make a living doing something that feels like playing, why would I do anything else. Its just so easy to be passionate about it.

From a really young age, I wanted to be a game developer at the same time I was always drawing. As I grew older I started playing around with Blender and then Unity and when the time came I decided to study 3D Animation and Game Design but was mostly interested in the art side of making games.

When I started playing my first game on Xbox 360 which is called "Blue Dragon", still play it till this day. My first thought that I wanted to be a 3D animator but my mind has changed when I started studying at Open Window institute and I started to really love doing Game Design and 3D art for games. And I am constantly inspired by other Game Designers and 3D Artists.

From a very young age, I have realized that I wanted to work in the industry.
