Summary
With origins hailing from the depths of Alaska, I moved to Oregon to seek an industry that better suited my interests and passion.
Entering the game industry as a self-taught artist, I was given the freedom to work with art leads that had 10+ years of experience. This enabled me to quickly develop an eye for art in all disciplines of production. Eventually, I would lead my own team, create positions for future opportunities, and provide the same guidance I received to those just coming into the industry.
Combining my experience in service and art production allows me to take my career to the next level, working with all kinds of talent the game industry has to offer and ensuring the best solution is put in motion for those who need it.
