About

With over 24 years in the video games and entertainment industry, I’ve had the privilege of creating original art-based solutions for renowned companies including Nintendo, Microsoft, BBC, Amazon, Surface Digital, and many others. My career has spanned all facets of Conceptual Design, Production Art, and Art Direction, contributing to a diverse range of projects across multiple genres and platforms. From stylized to hyper-realistic aesthetics—and everything in between—I’ve built a reputation for adaptability, creativity, and visual storytelling that supports both gameplay and narrative vision.
