A Toronto-ish-based illustrator; currently baking bread as a concept artist in the gaming industry – primarily character, additionally environment, prop, and keyframe design – and as a freelance storyboard artist in advertising. Open to freelance work, and love when I get to stick my nose into new niches – cover design, info illustration, matte painting. At this very moment I am thinking about clowns, love martial arts, and am always snooping around for bones and bugs. My favourite stories are the ones that feel like the dreams you have after taking too much melatonin.
