My Resume

I am a person with many creative sides to his personality. Some may say that I was born with this creative mind, and maybe I can agree with them. But I believe that success cannot just be acquired with pure talent. A person has to work hard, and in order to take full advantage of the talent that he has, he needs to be dedicated, hard working, adaptable and should have a thirst for knowledge. I have the passion for creativity, and my passion has led me to continue to make leaps in my career and learn new things along the way. I do think I am a veteran in the industry and I would love to get a chance to share my expertise with anyone I feel I am compatible with. I may have my limitations when it comes to work, but I love new challenges and I am sure that I can handle that life, or even my boss throws at me. If my eight years of experience has taught me anything, it is that there is no one way to do something; there is always more than one option. I usually follow the same path as everyone else, but on rare occasions, I like to take the route less travelled and even surprise myself with the results.

The Silent Symphony: Why Design Without Direction Fails

In the world of visual storytelling, silence isn’t the absence of sound — it’s the lack of harmony. I’ve spent years inside design rooms, animation bays, and brainstorming sessions where ideas flew like sparks. But without direction, even the most talented teams end up producing noise instead of music.

Illustration Isn’t Decoration — It’s Narrative

In a world saturated with design tools and AI-generated templates, illustration remains one of the last frontiers of human storytelling. It’s not there to fill space — it’s there to hold meaning.

I started with pixels. With lightmaps and wireframes. With UVs that wouldn’t unwrap properly and render times that stretched into sunrise.
