Senior 2D Artist @ WB Games Boston

Summary

I'm a versatile 2D generalist with over a decade of experience in the Boston game dev scene and a passion for the intersection of art and storytelling. At WB Games Boston, I provide illustrations, concept art, and narrative planning for Game of Thrones: Conquest, a top 50 grossing mobile strategy game for one of the biggest IPs in the world. I have a special soft spot for colorful, retro anime aesthetics, and I'll never pass up an opportunity to rant about dragon anatomy.
