The purpose of our craft is to make dreams a fact.
Yes. I do strongly believe this. I truly love what I do and I thank every day for the privilege to work in art and design. I am a designer taking my classical training in painting and illustration, and professional background in art direction to meet the challenges of visual design for games, interaction design, UI and UX. I love playing and making educational games and am always pursuing new exciting projects in multimedia. New York is where I live, work and play.
