Game Art Alumni

Since graduation, I have been working at Blizzard as a dungeon artist on World of Warcraft, modeling and texturing for dungeons, raids, and other points of interest. In my free time, I like to do other art and crafty things, like play piano, make soap, do archery, figure drawing, and painting. I draw inspiration for my art from all of these things, but I'm especially inspired by music and my hiking/camping adventures-I love nature and organic things! I am also greatly inspired by the artists who work around me, as well as by artists who work in other

I was born and raised in Miami pursuing art in Magnet programs from elementary until high school. I relocated to California for college and attended LCAD landing in the Game Art program as one of the first students to sign up. I graduated specializing in concept art with a heavy emphasis onenvironments. I worked as a freelancer briefly and then got hired at Electronic Arts working for Maxis as a concept artist. Some of my responsibilities at axis were generating environment paintings, designing props, exploring both architecture and furniture styles, and making art documents for the Sims division. I currently work at Visceral Games where I continue to apply my craft as a concept artist. The project I'm on allows me to do more environment paintings and gives me the opportunity to learn from veteran artists from the film industry. I couldn't be happier working in games as a concept artist. The work is fun, engaging, and it pushes your limits as an artist. Outside of the office, I often continue to invest my time doing personal art. But on certain days when the tide and wind conditions are ideal, I'll spend my time fishing with a friend or two.

As part of the graduating class of 2010, I jumped on board the Game Art track once Sandy introduced it to the school. It was definitely one of the best decisions I could have ever made. After graduating I collaborated with a game jam team from USC and from there moved to Konami as a 2D artist. Without a doubt, I wouldn't be where I am today without the Game Art program.
The desire to learn new things is one of the biggest driving forces behind my work. When it comes to art I feel like there's so many different aspects of art that needs to be learned, and that I must grasp the basics of each. The same applies to things I like to do in my personal time. What may start out extremely hard for me in the beginning, diligent work alway brings a success that is my own. I also apply the same concept to when I play games as well such as League of Legends!
