As a character and creature artist, I focus on bringing life to my models through a meticulous process of research and planning. I believe that spending time gathering references and thumbnailing is crucial for smooth execution. My approach centers around understanding how function dictates form, ensuring that the models I create are both accurate and captivating. Whether studying animal documentaries or sketching live at the zoo, I draw endless inspiration from the natural world.
While creatures are my passion, I am equally fascinated by characters with rich stories. Bringing compelling characters to life, ones that resonate with their narratives and roles, is something I deeply enjoy.
In addition to my technical skills, I bring a unique perspective from my previous career in holistic health coaching. This background taught me valuable skills like active listening, empathy, and organization, which now enhance my collaborations with teams. My leadership in game jams and group projects has been rooted in ensuring all voices are heard, and the planning is precise, so that creativity can thrive.
