Character & concept design, Toy prototypes & Prop manufacturing, Game and interactive media concepts, these are but the tip of the iceberg of what I can offer you as a creative resource. No, I’m not bragging, I’m simply stating a fact. I think a lot, I imagine a lot and I am capable of manifesting my ideas into many different forms. 

 I also know that creativity does not survive in a vacuum. That is why I enjoy collaborating with other creative people and companies. Working with teams either as a leader or a as part of a dynamic group is something I greatly appreciate and would like to extend to any production house in need of a “mad genius” to help drive ideas forward.
