I thoroughly enjoy getting my hands on creating game art which includes but are not limited to character/environment concepts, UI art, logos, marketing art, animation, etc. With the images I create, I work with the art director to create art bibles that shows the visual direction of the game. Sometimes one image explains a whole lot more than just mood boards and references.

Documentation not only serve as the backbone of the development process, but also helps better communicate information between departments which makes the process more efficient.

I’ve created various documents including technical documents, wireframes, flowcharts, style guides, etc.

These are only a small sample and I would love to share more, but most of the ownership goes to the respective companies.
