Hello and thanks for visiting!

I work as a 3d Character Artist at Skeleton Key studio. I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside many highly skilled artists over the years, and have been able to contribute character art to a number of AAA game titles.

I graduated from the Alberta College of Art & Design (now Alberta University of the Arts) in 2001 with a Bachelor of Design degree, majoring in Visual Communications.

GAME PROJECTS:

Dragon Age: The Veilguard (2024)

Anthem (2019)

Dragon Age: Inquisition (2014)

Mass Effect 3 (2012)

Mass Effect 2 (2010)

Project “Revolver” (cancelled)

Jade Empire (2005)

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (2003)

Also, “Additional Art” contributions made to Mass Effect Legendary Edition (2021), Dragon Age 2 (2011), Dragon Age: Origins (2009), and Mass Effect (2007).
