I am a professional artist working in animation. My experience covers visual development, production design, layout and colour. Here are some examples of my work in children’s animated content, commercial works, and my personal projects.
Work I have created for tv series and feature films, ranging from locations, props, and characters.
Design and colour of various key locations in the show.

I did the storyboard for this League of Legends Star Guardian event teaser, as well as some concepts, final layouts and bgpaint.
I was involved in concepts, props and layout on the Rise of the Underworlds cinematic trailer.
