Summary
I graduated from the University of Arkansas in 2017 with a double degree, a BA in Psychology and a BFA in Studio Art with an Emphasis in Graphic Design.
I've worked at the Tesseract Center for Immersive Environments and Game Design since January of 2015, moving from a Junior Intern up to the Art Director for the studio. During that time I have done production work in most disciplines of video game art, including both environment and character work. I've also worked extensively on designing, creating, and implementing UI and UX schemes. I also have extensive experience leading art teams and project managing.
The work I'm most passionate about is developing artistic visions for games that work in harmony with the overall design, as well as bringing 3D characters and environments to life.
