My passion for art has been with me pretty much forever. From scribbling in notebooks to jazzing up walls and desks with my favorite characters, art was always there. When I was younger, I had to get creative with my learning since resources were scarce – magazines and my own imagination were my best teachers!
Over time, my love for art just kept growing. I dove into learning formal techniques on my own, soaking up inspiration from the greats like Gustave Doré, Rembrandt, Dean Cornwell, and John Singer Sargent. After getting my degrees in Graphic Design and Marketing, I landed a cool gig as a surface designer in textiles.
Then came 2016, when I decided to really go for it and moved to Los Angeles to study Concept Design at the Brainstorm School. That experience was huge; it connected me with incredible people and some of the best in the business, like John Park, James Paick, and Mark Castañon.
Fast forward to today, I'm an illustrator and concept designer, working on a wide variety of projects globally, everything from animations to commercials and video games.
