Passionate concept artist and illustrator with vibrant design skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated concept artist and illustrator with a passion for creating lively designs and colors. My journey in the arts has been fueled by a desire to bring characters and environments to life through my illustrations. I have honed my skills in various mediums, including digital art, and have experience working on diverse projects, from video game prototypes to graphic design for social media.
Throughout my career, I have collaborated with clients to establish a unique visual style, ensuring that each project reflects their vision. My work as a graphic design intern at the City of Torrance allowed me to develop design proposals that enhanced the graphic appeal of their website, showcasing my ability to iterate and refine designs based on feedback. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy the challenge of creating compelling visuals that resonate with audiences.
