"It's always about the story."

  

Hi, I’m a 3D concept artist and narrative designer specializing in world building, 3D environments, game writing, quest design, branching dialogue and creating immersive worlds where narrative and visual design complement each other.

My dual discipline places me at the intersection of narrative design and 3D environment art. This allows me to translate narrative themes, complex lore, culture, and character psychology into environments, architecture, visual motifs, atmosphere, and visual storytelling.

Since 2016, I’ve collaborated with industry-leading studios and brands, creating environment designs, concept art, and story-driven visualizations for film, games, and animation.

I love working on narrative related projects (world building, branching and linear dialogue, character arcs and backstories, narrative systems, voice-over scripts), and visual art (concept art and 3D environment design, gamemaps, character design and storyboards). In my free time I love developing my own personal IP(a sci-fi novel).
