My Story

From a young age, I viewed becoming an animator as a significant milestone in my journey to becoming a well-rounded artist. My passion for drawing, creativity, and leveraging new technologies to enhance my artistic skills has been a driving force throughout my life. My commitment to art led me to pursue a degree in Digital Entertainment and Game Design, where I developed a deep appreciation for storytelling and the entire creative and production process of video games and 3D animations. I am eager to further immerse myself in this creative world and am open to any opportunities that will help me realize my dreams.

Currently residing in the USA, I am a Multimedia XR Developer with a wide range of interests, from traditional art to cutting-edge technology. My passion extends to graphic design, video game development, and creating art inspired by popular animated series, comics, films, and video games. My goal is to bring fantasy and science fiction dreams to life.

With over 20+ years of experience, I am well-versed in producing high-quality work under tight deadlines in fast-paced production environments. I take pride in developing customer-focused art solutions and constantly strive for visual excellence. As a fast learner, I am highly motivated and skilled in numerous graphic applications. I am adaptable, capable of performing under extreme pressure without compromising the quality of my work. My aim is to exceed client expectations with every project. A team-oriented and dependable professional, I am confident in my ability to contribute meaningfully to any team.

The career I thought I'd have vs. what I ended up doing

Looking back on my career journey, I had no clue what I wanted to do initially, and honestly, I'm still figuring it out to some extent. But I kept moving forward, focusing on what I was good at and what interested me. That led me to where I am now, working as a Multimedia XR Developer in the Training and Simulations industry, creating serious games and training apps for government contracts. All I really wanted was to use my knack for art and tech to earn a decent living, and it worked out pretty well.
