About
2D/3D artist, writer, and cartoonist. My main focuses are graphic design, character creation, and visual storytelling. I have developed designs, illustration, and layouts for product labels, newspaper advertisements, and games/apps. In my spare time I work feverishly on an independent comic, "Fuzzy Justice". I am passionate about creative collaboration and it is important for me to be a part in the making of compelling and appealing visions.
