• Freelance Artist at Self Employed

  San Mateo, United States of America

  April 2013 - Present

  I am a digital artist who specializes in art services for the social and mobile game community. My knowledge of game development from working within studios makes it easy for me to plug my skills into any art pipeline. My experience ranges from vector art, digital painting and illustration, concept and design, motion graphics, animation, 3D asset creation and UI design.

  Because of my location, I can easily visit any studio in the Bay Area to touch base and ensure all tasks are being preformed in a timely and effective manner.
