New! Work in progress: Alliance MBT in Props .

I started doodling when I was at the very young age of 3, having decided very firmly that I could make art the way I envisioned it instead of waiting for it to come out of others.

Then about a year older later, I was beginning to play many of the early computer games around at the time, despite having a difficult time understanding them being that young.

However, this would lead me to enjoying many of the early classics that have shaped the way I view the gaming world, such as Wing Commander, X-Com, Doom, and so many others.

For the longest time I had no idea what I would do with my future and at one point I was stuck between wanting to be an astronaut or an artist. But what kind of artist?

Eventually I discovered that there are jobs for artists in the gaming industry and decided I needed to be one.

Currently, I’ve graduated from International Academy of Design & Technology with honors and am now in the process of looking for work, as well as continuing to work on my own projects in the hopes of further filling out my portfolio.
