Background Designer

My background includes working as a Concept/Visual Development Artist in VFX, television, animation and games; designing across various areas of production, from storyboards and keyframes, to props, environments and characters.

I would best describe my work to lie somewhere between the worlds of Concept Art for games and Visual Development for animation. My skills are best suited at the beginning of any project for initial wide-lateral exploration/ideation.
