I was the first pixel artist at Gameloft New York, where I handled all
in-house art needs and helped procure several high profile licenses by
rapidly making mock-up screens of potential licensed games on demand for
the marketing staff. I was promoted quickly before moving on to Glu
Mobile where I was the lead artist on numerous titles over the following
several years, earning frequent praise and promotions, eventually
achieving the rank of Technical Senior Artist, which required me to
coordinate with senior programmers and producers to help design and
improve in-house graphics and animation tools while I also continued to
function as lead/senior artist on AAA licenses such as Batman and
Transformers. Since Glu Mobile I've freelanced for the likes of
Sega/Wayforward and have done lead character sprite animations and other
graphics for games such as Mighty Switch Force and Thor:God of Thunder
for the Nintendo DS.

known and respected in the industry for being fast, highly reliable,
and loving the challenge of working within time and technical
constraints.
