Hard Surface Concept Artist/3D modeler. Weapon Artist.

I first realized I wanted to work in the creative industry when I was a little kid. The area I grew up in was competitive, and I used to hang out with my friends after school ended for a little while before schoolwork. We didn't have any games back then, so I created role-playing games for me and my friends to play. Seeing their smiles after stressful schooldays motivated me to become a game artist in the future so I can bring my imagination to life and spread joy to others.
