As an experienced Concept Designer with over a decade of professional expertise at Grab Games, I bring a wealth of knowledge in oral communication, concept generation, and over 20 additional skills to my role as a Part-time Teacher at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles County. With a freelance stint at One Pixel Brush, collaborating closely with art directors to produce top-tier designs for film, gaming, and television, and a brief but impactful tenure as a Concept Artist at Framestore, I've honed my abilities to create compelling visual narratives. My background includes a tenure as a Graphic Designer at Konami, where I developed strong teamwork skills alongside diverse creative abilities.
