My background as a game company founder has positioned me to see how all aspects of game production are tied together and I believe it helps with the path of moving into a creative director position. Ideas come pretty easily and production as a content creator and artist are my bread and butter. Finding solid talent for projects has been one of the more interesting aspects of my career as an art director, art manager and company owner. And of course, I enjoy science art with a passion for informational graphics and I'm open to projects that range from book illustration to immersive real time game like production of science and entertainment based content.

Art and creative direction when needed for a whole range of products - including hands on production. From Avatar design to world building and advertising art and videos/animations. Manage team of artists and graphic designers.

I managed some 30 artists and their careers as well as work on company strategy in regards to art and design. I scoped out and hired new talent and actively worked with our recruiting department. At VV we also worked with numerous regional universities, colleges and high schools to further digital art and game design curriculum with an eye to developing future local talent pools.I helped develop and plan for new working processes for preproduction and production with the goal of being more efficient and streamlining the pipeline and work flow. I worked with producers and leads to find better ways to implement skills training while working in a tight deadline atmosphere. I slated staff artists to future projects with an eye for putting the right people in the right positions. With other group managers, we collaborated to improve communication between our large departments and find ways to become more efficient and smarter in how we made games.

Was in charge of overseeing external art direction of numerous projects using outside vendors

As Art Director for Smart Bomb - I worked with artists to develop the visual look and feel for the games, and design concepts for new games and prototypes. I also developed concept art as both an artist and art director using freelance and in house artists, and ensured that art being produced for the games was consistent with the vision each project.

At Westwood I was a jack of all trades. I did game art, concept art, cinematic animations. I worked with the cinematic producer and our in-house director to oversee the production of background digital sets for when we shot live action cinematics. I would co-ordinate with the artists and live action shooting crew and director to ensure that the actors were in their proper places for matching up the CGI sets. I not only helped with the graphics direction, I also produced numerous digital sets, effects work and animation and digital matte paintings as well as acted as one of the digital compositors for the final cinematics.

The company that created the video game Myst. Along with Robyn Miller, I created about one half the graphics and animations for the game. I assisted in late design changes and worked on concept art and maps. I also remade the first Cyan game; The Manhole... called The Manhole: The Masterpiece Edition. All made with 3D graphics (It can still be found - along with Myst - on the iPad and iPhone).
