“All the truth in the world is held in stories.” - Patrick Rothfuss, Wise Man’s Fear

I believe that the stories we tell are more than just mindless entertainment, they shape our world and ourselves. With this in mind, I always approach my work with respect for the craft.

My skillset focuses on integrating diverse digital and traditional techniques for illustration and concept design. This includes painting, drawing, photography, and 3D pipelines. My interests also include historical study, astronomy, fictional novels, music, and film.

Alongside illustration, I co-founded Atvolve, a creative health company. We Believe your body and your brain are just as important to creative output as the development of your craft. We focus on fitness, nutrition, tension relief, mindfulness, and health coaching for individuals and teams.

I aim to spread the word on this subject, as I feel it is often an overlooked component of artistic production.
