Summary
I am an artist and illustrator focusing in character and background design. I have experience creating art for mobile games and 2D animation formatted for both online and television.
In my personal works, I enjoy taking the nostalgia of comics and cartoons I watched as a kid to create whimsical designs of all shapes and sizes: From environments, to creatures, and everything in-between.
