About

I am an concept artist and illustrator currently based in Tempe, Arizona. I work primarily with character art, character design, and asset development. I love experimenting with different styles and subject matters, but always find comfort creating work within sci-fi themes.

From a very young age, I always knew I wanted to create. Throughout my life, I have explored different paths and methods to express my creativity, and each contributed to my artistic process. Growing up in a STEM oriented family greatly influenced the subject matters often found in my work. Participating in school and community theater allowed me to explore character acting, choreography, costuming, props, and set design. Creating handmade jewelry encouraged me to think outside of the box in terms of designing characters and props. I am always on the lookout for new creative outlets that can contribute to my work as a character designer and concept artist!
