Needless to say I am a massive video games addict, something I have been since my first encounter with Pac Man back when arcades were what you used to spend your lunch money on. Being born into family of artists I knew early on that I wanted to create art for video games and I have been pushing myself ever since, striving to achieve my childhood dream. Games were always an inspiration as well as means of escape for me. From the vast fields of Hyrule, waiting to be explored, to the dark corridors of Mars, challenging my determination, video games always brought out my creativity, dedication and absolute passion to create art I can be proud of.

As I grow within the video games industry so does my understanding of this dynamic and ever-changing world. I love a good challenge and working as a video games artist gives me an opportunity to test my resolve and advance my skills. As games evolve so do tools to make them, forcing artist to be on their toes to keep up-to-date with the ever-growing standards of video games art. I cherish these challenges for they ultimately bring me closer to my dream of becoming the best video game artist I can possible be.
