Summary

I am a Visual Development Artist, Art Director and occasionally Director with 15+ years of experience of working in the animation industry, both tv shows and feature films. I specialize in visual development, concept art, color key and character design. What distinguishes my style is stylized design, color selection, atmosphere and story driven compositions.

One of my recent position was Senior Concept Artist at The SPA Studios, an Oscar-nominated studio.
I have collaborated with studios such as Dreamworks TV (several TV series, including "Curses!" on Apple TV+), Lightbox Animation Studios, CD Project Red, Illusorium or BRON Animation.
