Summary:
My goals in the long term is to continually adapt and improve myself as an Artist and game developer. Like any artist or game developer, I wish to bring an innovative, original product to this industry that people have either never seen, or viewed a similar idea from another angle and perspective that never thought of.
With the past 5 years I have grown as an artist furthering my skill and knowledge base of art, as well as my technical knowledge in software. I am looking to take that next step in responsibility and role in which I can spread out further and greater as an artist. I hope to reach that goal in which I can work with a superb studio, whether it be a start up with aspirations of greatness and innovation or merely an established studio who is looking to add to its library and push the genre further than it has been.
I am currently in search of work for a studio established or merely starting. I hope to fill a role in which I can fully express myself as an artist and bring a game to the market that is enjoyed by many.
