My education at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh has given me a strong background in the elements of design, as well as a powerful framework of digital skills. As a Game Art & Design major, I have made my focus concept and texturing work, which entails hand-drawn artwork that helps flesh out game ideas, as well as digital painting on 3D characters and environment pieces. I have always had a passion for drawing and painting and I spent two summers at Interlochen Center for the Arts learning Drawing and Ceramics/Sculpture. I have worked as a concept artist and consultant for several businesses, including designing an interactive robotic toy for girls, original character designs, and freelance illustrations.
