I love working in creative teams

and being surrounded by production minded people who care deeply about the idea, small details and visual craft.


There's nothing better than being amongst designers, creatives, developers, animators and project managers pursuing an epic creative vision. All of work above was done with amazing teams and wouldn’t be possible without them.
