Bio:

I graduated from UCLA in Molecular Biology with the goal of advancing research in the fields of cancer and disease related science. Shortly before graduating, though, I realized that a science career was not my true calling, and I eventually rediscovered my love of art. I soon found myself applying to, attending and graduating from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA with a degree in Entertainment Design.

Now I find myself integrating my childhood passion along with my design education to my professional career as a concept artist. So far I have enjoyed contributing artwork to clients such as Walt Disney Imagineering, Disney Interactive, Hasbro Inc, The Hettema Group and Rubicon. In my personal time I continue pursuing my passion of storytelling, which I discovered in art school. SMALL DOGS is my first children's book, for which I am currently seeking publishing, and I look forward to creating many other literary and illustrative projects.

I currently live in the Los Angeles area where I enjoy finding great pizza places. When I am not working, I can be found working.
