Personal

Professional

I have worked in the computer games industry since 1998, having excelled in areas such as 3D graphics and animation, 2D graphics and video production.
Throughout my career I’ve been recognized for being an innovative and up to date problem solver, always seeking to improve procedures and finding new and better ways of doing things.
Team projects are where I add most value, I connect different disciplines and especially enjoy working closely with programmers. I have always been credited for being a good spirited co-worker who never has a “bad day” and I approach work systematically and with lots of humor. For many years I have worked in an Agile environment, where I have recognized the goal and importance of getting the most out of given resources.
In addition to art tasks, I have participated in the conceptual part of creative projects, being active in brain storms, idea generation, and pitching ideas.
