Summary

I am an Art Director working in games, films, and advertising with extensive experience in art and creative direction. My specialty is in visual development, where I collaborate with a team to create an artistic vision, then continually guide, polish and direct that vision towards a successful launch.

I have worked on a myriad of amazing projects throughout my career with 22 game credits and counting. I’ve been fortunate enough to serve on all sides of a studio from leading art teams on the front lines to executive level management. Through this depth of experience, I have gained a wealth of knowledge, empathy and grit for the ever-challenging development process. I also have genuine enthusiasm for directing, mentoring, and elevating the people around me to do the their best work.

Seeking opportunities where I can collaborate with creative teams to feed my endless passion for building worlds and telling stories.
