Summary
Art Director with broad artistic visual background.
My main skill - I can adapt easily to work with versatile art styles.
Started in the game industry as an Photographer, moved into 2D Art, and then progressed to the role of Art Director.
My way: Photographer > 2D Artist > Lead 2D Artist > Concept Artist > Art Director > Creative Art Director.
During my game indistry career I've worked on different style projects. I had work expirence in independent small studios and big company. I`ve two small shipped games as an Art Director and Creative Art Director.
I've also had time to work as a professional photographer, a photo director, a makeup artist and costume designer in the theater, an illustrator. I was obsessed with comic books, miniature painting, theatrical costumes design, movies production... but I always came back to the world of making games. And now I don't want to do anything other than create game worlds, putting all the great visual experience I've had along the way into making them.
