Hello and thanks for visiting!
I work as a 3d Character Artist, and have had the pleasure to work alongside many highly skilled artists over the years at BioWare, being able to contribute character art to a host of AAA game titles.
I graduated from the Alberta College of Art & Design (now Alberta University of the Arts) in 2001 with a Bachelor of Design, majoring in Visual Communications.

Dragon Age: Dreadwolf
Anthem (2019)
Dragon Age: Inquisition (2014)
Mass Effect 3 (2012)
Mass Effect 2 (2010)
Project “Revolver” (cancelled)
Jade Empire (2005)
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (2003)
Also, “Additional Art” contributions made to Dragon Age 2 (2011), Dragon Age: Origins (2009), and Mass Effect (2007).
