Summary
I am an artist born in the '95 with an innate interest in art in its many forms. Ever since I've been able to hold a pencil or crayon of any sort, I've been scribbling down on papers and school notebooks to pass my time in addition to passionately playing video games. Eventually those two interests developed into something I wanted to do for living, and I began studying art and culture (media) in a university while performing my internships mostly in the game development industry.
My dream is to make a living out of creating art, be it illustrations or producing art (2D and 3D) for games. I want to be a part of forming these amazing and imaginative worlds.
