My Story

I’m a visual artist with over nine years of professional experience in illustration, comic art, and game design. My journey into the creative world started pretty simply — just a deep love for drawing and telling stories. Over time, that passion naturally evolved into a career in visual arts, and I’ve been fortunate to work on a variety of projects that let me bring ideas and characters to life.

My work is heavily influenced by fantasy, science fiction, and mythology. My style blends traditional drawing techniques with digital tools, which helps me experiment and keep things fresh. I love creating characters and worlds that feel real and lived-in, and I’m always aiming to make something that sparks curiosity or emotion in the viewer.

Outside of work, I spend time playing video games, reading graphic novels, and getting outdoors whenever I can. Exploring new environments and stories helps fuel my creativity and keeps my perspective evolving. I believe that continuous learning and experimentation are essential—not just for staying creatively engaged, but for growing as an artist.

At the heart of everything I do is a passion for storytelling through art, and a drive to make work that resonates with others on a personal level.
