I am an designer / illustrator born in the Philippines but raised on military bases as a child. Afterword, I studied art at San Jose State University and now I currently live and work in the Bay Area. Backed by a BFA in Illustration and Animation, I have also acquired over 10 years of Marketing Art experience which lead me to a career in Motion Graphics. I’ve learned much working at military facilities, creating marketing campaigns and retail advertisements and installations. I’ve also spent time in manufacturing, primarily designing for screw caps and trade shows. But I have cultivated my career in the Mobile Gaming industry as a Marketing Artist.
In addition to my graphic work, as an illustrator, I’ve created splash pages along with assets, characters and backgrounds.
