About me

I am a visual storyteller through illustration and design, with a strong focus on illustration. From an early age, I was captivated by the worlds of comic books, film, gaming, and animation—mediums that continue to inspire me today. As an illustrator, I strive to create impactful visuals that not only inspire but also serve a purpose and leave a lasting impression.

My Journey

I’ve always been drawn to stories and creativity in entertainment, whether in television, gaming, comics, or animation, and I aspire to contribute to the entertainment industry in a creative capacity. My interests lie in storytelling through comic books, concept art, and character design for film, games, and entertainment design. Recently, I've expanded my interests to include visual development and storyboarding in animation.

Experience

My skills in illustration and design are largely self-taught through online tutorials, dedicated courses, and hands-on mentorship. This foundation has afforded me opportunities to work with clients on some projects that include character design and designing of promotional materials for both print and digital platforms. These experiences have enhanced my professional growth. Additionally, I've been recognized as a finalist in some design competitions, which has been a rewarding experience.

I've also had the opportunity to work in roles outside of design and illustration, which have been crucial in shaping my professional growth. These experiences have developed my professionalism, communication skills, work ethic, and problem-solving abilities, enabling me to work effectively with clients and teams, whether remotely or in person.

Creative Process

My creative process is driven by purpose. I enjoy solving problems creatively, and I believe in understanding the "why" behind my work. Knowing the goals and desired outcomes ensures that my work not only looks good but also achieves its intended purpose. I aim to create work that is useful, inspiring, and leaves a lasting impact.

My Vision

As I continue to grow in this ever-evolving creative world, I’m on a journey to find where my skills, passions, and impact align, and I am dedicated to adding value to the projects I work on and to the people I work with. My goal is to contribute meaningfully to the creative community, inspire others, and never stop learning. Ultimately, my desire is to live with purpose, keep learning, be useful, and inspire.
