I am an artist with experience in game lighting, environment art, and illustration. I've worked in the games industry since 2011, and have a Master's degree in Interactive Entertainment from FIEA. I've worked at a variety of studio sizes; from small indie studios where I was primarily a generalist and animator, to working in environment and lighting at Electronic Arts, and now as a lighting artist at High Moon Studios.
As I continue to grow in my career, I hope to continue to learn how to create compelling environments and illustrations for the video game and theme park industries.
