I have over 8 years of creative leadership experience within 12 years of game development experience across mobile and PC/console. I’m driven by a passion for visual storytelling and creating meaningful interactive experiences through player empathy, mindful research, and finding the fun. I'm adept at defining and maintaining a product's look and feel, finding the magic in the mundane, and striking the perfect balance of appeal and uniqueness to help a product stand out in a saturated market - all at a high level of collaboration across all disciplines and consideration of technical and production constraints.I'm drawn to teams that prioritize diversity of thought, open collaboration, and the player experience. I thrive in creative, collaborative fast-paced environments where I can both guide a team and work alongside them. I strongly believe that people that have fun together build great games together.Specialties: Art Direction, Team Management, Game Development, Concept Art, Digital Painting, Key Art, Environment Art, Vector Graphics, UI Design, 2D Animation, Adobe Creative Suite, Creative Strategy, Outsource Management, Hiring Creative Talent, Mentorship and Career Development, Marketing Creative
