Sr. Art Director - 3D Letterer, Illustrator

Los Angeles, CA, USA
I feel very lucky of having the luxury of working on what I really love. As Chet Baker said: “ The good way to go in life is to find something that you really enjoy doing, and then learn to do it better than anybody, and you won’t have any problems”. I understand “do it better than anybody” as an encouragement to practice and work hard. I believe that with perseverance anything is achievable.

Myself

I believe that creativity comes from every corner and should be nurtured in every possible way. I am a Saxophone lover, Tai Chi practicer, Cognitive Science and Life’s Natural Wonders enthusiast. From these fields I get insights, make connections and produce ideas for my projects.
