I am a traditionally trained artist and designer, I studied Painting and Industrial Design at Pratt Institute in New York , then earned a B.S. with a specialty in Transportation Design from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena California.

Art Center is where I honed my visual communication skills and developed my love of Cars and Automotive Styling, but also manufacturing, sculpting , 3d form and conceptual design.

My career has crossed from Art , Film, Industrial Design, Games and Technology, on products that were designed to be Tools or Sandboxes for Player and User Creativity and Expression

• My passion is to work on teams with cross functional experts and break new ground on a project or idea

• I thrive in development environments that are at the edge of technology and require flexible thinking and adaptability

• I have a knack for system design and establishing and documenting workflows for art production to be able to scale up a vision

• My style is to lead by example and inspire my team to do best of class work , by first understanding the problems at a granular level

• I love to always learn new tools and the challenge of pushing the limits of the tech to break new ground no matter what the platform
