Summary

I am a flexible illustrator and concept artist, focusing on iterative concepts and designs for characters, props, creatures, and environments.

As I recently finished my MFA in Game Dev: Concept Art, I have taken a hiatus from my work as a 2D concept artist for the Beyond Skyrim Project's Morrowind and Atmora teams, where I have primarily worked on creature and prop designs.

My experience as an art instructor ranges from working with kindergarteners to those preparing for college, from introductory drawing to portfolio preparation, and my volunteer teaching experience with Arcane University has put me in touch with students all over the world. My Arcane University lectures can be found via YouTube.
