As an artist, I am a U.S. veteran and 3D artist with a diverse background rooted in information technology and customer service at a supervisory level. Armed with a B.S. in Information Technology and a B.A. in Game Art and Development, I stand poised to tackle challenges with a blend of personal knowledge, attentive listening, and meticulous research.
My journey into the world of art and technology began with humble family game nights, evolving from board and card games to the electrifying realm of video games when Santa delivered my first game console, the Atari 2600. This pivotal moment ignited a passion for immersive storytelling and interactive experiences that would shape my future endeavors.
In my 20s, I embarked on a new adventure as a sailor with the U.S. Navy, navigating the high seas while fostering a love for Dungeons and Dragons and other roleplaying games among a tight-knit group of friends. Drawing inspiration from these games, I began crafting my own adventures and expanding the boundaries of imagination.
My career path has been as varied as the realms of my RPG campaigns, from lab technician to mobile phone industry stalwart and from providing stellar customer service to delving into the intricate world of software, hardware, and network support across diverse industries.
After immersing myself in the vibrant culture of the Philippines with my family, I seized the opportunity presented by the pandemic to refocus my energies on my true passion: creating captivating media experiences. Armed with a renewed sense of purpose, I pursued further education in Game Art and Development, ready to breathe new life into my artistic journey.
My approach to art is rooted in critical thinking and problem-solving, honed through years of coordinating diverse talents, meeting customer needs efficiently, and crafting immersive roleplaying experiences. I draw inspiration from a rich tapestry of influences, including science fiction, high fantasy, history, comics, and manga, weaving them together to create visually stunning and thought-provoking works.
Beyond my artistic endeavors, I am an avid reader, a musician in training, and a lifelong learner. With each brushstroke, each pixel, and each chord, I strive to evoke emotion, spark imagination, and leave a lasting impact on those who engage with my creations.
As I embark on this new chapter, I rise like the Phoenix from the ashes, ready to breathe life into new worlds and share my adventures with the world.
