Hi!

I am a character & prop designer, working in TV Animation design. 

As soon as I was able to hold a pencil, I’ve been drawing comics and writing stories to entertain those around me. Creating film, art and animation is exactly that and more!

I am a driven and hardworking designer. With strong work ethics, good communication skills and determination, I am able to learn fast and create strong visual designs. As part of a team in a fast paced work environment, I strive for creative problem solving and most importantly having fun!
