Summary
I grew up drawing with pencil and painting with acrylic paints selling a number of painting. I later did Computer Science and Pure Mathematics and realized I liked programming. I then realized I had an interest in game programming. I freelanced for a few years as a graphic designer designing logos for a number of individuals and companies.
I pursued my passion for Game Design & Development in Vancouver, BC where I studied Game Art & Design at VanArts: Vancouver Institute of Media Arts.
With a combined skillset of math, programming/scripting, 2D/3D art and design, I now do work as a Designer, Technical Artist & Technical Animator.
