Artist | Hobbyist | Varied
United States
Graduating high school in 2001, I went straight after my passion of creativity and moved to Portland, OR where I got my bachelors in Media Arts & Animation at the Art Institute of Portland in 2005.
From there I began working professionally doing ad layout, package and promotional design as a Graphic Artist in Bellingham, WA. In 2009 I began working for Oysterdome Games doing art, animation, game concept and design for an educational MMO in development called ZooMyGosh.
I have since started a promotional media and web design company with two of my colleagues called Happy Chap Media. I am also constantly working on many other creative projects. In October 2011 I had a gallery of my paintings in Seattle. I’m currently writing and directing a short film entitled “Ghost Town” and I’m always participating in Bellingham’s bi-monthly film event, Trailer Wars.
