I worked part-time at an indie-game startup, working on an undisclosed upcoming horror survival game.  I created 2D art (logos, brands of in game objects, etc.) and concept art.

I am currently an instructor in the multimedia/arts department, teaching primarily concept art, animation, figure drawing  and digital painting. 

I was lead concept artist for a small but powerful 3D design firm, specializing in virtual world construction for the Epic Games Cyberhub.  I was responsible for creating the preliminary look and feel of each individual location before handing off to the 3D/Technical artists who made it all work.  My jobs were myriad but included: reference gathering and mood boards, initial concepts, low-poly 3D mock ups of assets, paint-overs, color passes and texture call-outs.  We also worked on projects for AMD Athlon, Lenovo and others. Here is the case study: https://theia.io/epic-detroit-case-study

I created short animations from concept to finish in support of Gig Car Share,  the automotive rental brand,  owned by AAA insurance.  I created the storyboards for the ads, then, using primarily AfterEffects and Photoshop, brought them to life.  I created multiple versions to fit different online platforms.

I designed all the art for a casual mobile game demo, called Hemlock & the Horrible Net.  You play as a Cephalopod riding an Eagle Ray, fleeing from a Trawl Net. I placed all assets in Unity and animated the Eagle Ray as well.   You can find a demo of the video of the game play here:
