My first inspiration to become an artist came from the animated TV show Transformers. As a child, playing with the action figures and watching the cartoon were my favourite pastimes. Soon after, I had my first encounter with Japanese animation through a TV series called Robotech: The Macross Saga. Delving into Japanese animation and video games, I opened the gateway into an industry with endless roads to explore.

As a youth I was self-taught in art. I dabbled in traditional media and experimented greatly through writing and drawing my own comics. My first experience with digital media came with an entry into the digital art contest for youths in the Canadian magazine "Home Computing & Entertainment". My success in the contest encouraged me to further explore the realm of digital art.

After high school graduation, I completed the Digital Arts Program at the Centre for Digital Imaging & Sound (CDIS), also known as the Art Institute of Vancouver (AI). The computer programs I became familiar with provided a wide range of technical skill sets that greatly facilitated my creative imagination. Having experienced contract work in web and graphic design, I next challenged myself with a difficult but exciting project: Gundam Century, a comprehensive game modification for StarCraft, Blizzard Entertainment's popular real time strategy game. As Gundam Century quickly gained popularity, I became renowned as its sole developer through a variety of high profile web sites and gaming magazines.

My talents were soon discovered by the comic industry. I joined Dreamwave Productions and quickly became a leading colorist at the company. Having worked on a plethora of top-selling comic books (e.g. Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), and video game-based licenses (e.g. Mega Man and Devil May Cry), I left the company to seek new opportunities along the horizon.

Recently, I joined Mainframe Entertainment as a conceptual artist and designer, with a focus on character and prop design. The full production environment broadened my perspectives and further fuelled my creativity. In addition, I took this opportunity to sharpen my strengths and overcome my weaknesses.

In April of 2006, I was offered a position as an Associate 3D artist at Blizzard Entertainment. My responsibilities were to be concepting character, weapon, and armor designs. However, I turned away the employment offer in Irvine, California.

I currently reside as a concept designer, 2D and 3D artist at Threewave Software in Vancouver, BC., Canada.

The past has been a challenging trek through countless obstacles and rewarding artistic experiences. In fact, I have greater expectations for the future – to reach beyond my boundaries as an artist and as an individual.
