3D and Graphic Artist
Greater San Diego Area
I am a 3D Modeler and Artist. I received my BS in Game Art & Design from the Art Institute of California, San Diego. I am coming from 6 years in the Graphic Design industry when I worked with companies like Pfizer, Copley Press, Isis Pharmaceuticals, and DivX Networks, among many others. Before that I received my BA in Art from Western Michigan University. I decided to switch to Game creation because I feel I am better at drawing then fonts and am fascinated with animation and video games.
