About
I’m a independent visual artist and storyteller specializing in cinematic concept development, AI-assisted filmmaking, and original world-building. My work blends traditional artistic direction with emerging generative tools to create immersive sci-fi, fantasy, and dark surreal narratives, from concept art and character design to animated short-form episodes and promotional media. Before AI came along, I had 12 years of experience working in the entertainment industry as a lead designer (Technicolor Creative Services, Warner Bros; NBC Sports), then another 9 years working on government and Space Force programs. I regularly work across projects involving visual development, narrative design, and using advanced AI workflows for image generation, video sequencing, editing, and sound ideation. My current flagship project, Black Dwarf, is an original episodic universe that combines hand-crafted storytelling with next-generation creative production techniques.
