Freelance Concept Artist & Illustrator
Manchester, United Kingdom

I'm a concept artist and illustrator based in Manchester, UK, devoted mainly to concepting environments, architecture and props design for videogames, cinematics and films, and illustrating for card games, books, and preproduction.

I love creating worlds and locations for stories, I enjoy great narratives and meaningful projects in general, worldbuilding and generating emotion managing mood and lighting, working from scenes and environments to the smaller scale of mundane props.

I worked with companies such as Wizards of the Coast, Axis Studios, ZA/UM, Fandom, Revolution Games, Rise Studios, Flipbook Studio, Endnight Games, Games Workshop and more.
