I'm aiming to work as character modeler that focuses on stylised aesthetics in games, animation and toy design.

Art has always been a part of my life and I first realised I wanted to be an artist as a child watching Ren and Stimpy, Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes. I gained an interest in wanting to work in games as a teen playing arcade games such as The King of Fighters, Street Fighter Alpha and the Marvel vs Capcom crossover series as an illustrator. As I've gotten older I gained more of an interest in 3D modelling and aimed for a hybrid workflow that would potentially allow me to work in 2D and/or 3D.
