Summary

Lead Character Artist with over 17 years of experience shaping compelling characters for the video game industry. I have a proven history of contributing to high-profile AAA titles, including Far Cry 6, Splinter Cell, and Dragon Age II. I also created key characters for South of Midnight, which was awarded “Best Art Direction” at the 2026 Canadian game awards.

My expertise extends beyond creation to include team leadership and mentorship, which I leverage to guide artists and deliver exceptional results.
