HI! I am an aspiring Technical Artist who dabbles maybe a bit too much in art and design.

I am a lifelong artist having drawn my entire life, studied architecture, art school, and every medium there is. But after all of that, I always found my way back to my love of video games development and 3D. Now I am making indie games, finished a master’s degree, and am interviewing with studios hoping for my big break!
