PROFILE

After leaving Miami, Florida I relocated to Orlando and earned my Masters of Science degree (artist track) on December 2009 and my first two jobs in the industry were with Empty Clip Studios and Electronic Arts. Both opportunities helped me learn to manage myself working for two studios simultaneously. These experiences along with my degrees have given me the opportunity to become a multi-disciplined all round creative artist.

I hope to continue to improve my craft and share it on this site with everyone that visits. Suggestions, comments and feedback on my portfolio are always welcome. Thanks for taking the time to view my portfolio...
