Summary
Games and movies were the reason I joined the concept art industry. Every careful attention and thought put into games and movie production always inspired me to create better designs!
Currently Leading a team of 22 concept artists working on multiple triple-A projects.
System creation, conflict management, task delegation, team building, and communicating with clients are now the main priority in my day-to-day task.
As much as I enjoy creating art, building a sustainable and fun yet challenging environment for my team has been fulfilling for me.
I'm also a guest lecturer teaching Design Process principles to students in The One Academy. Teaching has been one of my passion and the ability to give back to the community and bring my students into the industry has been another fulfilling journey as well.
Lastly, I also run a small company that does freelancing for concept art. This is a platform to share the tasks with more upcoming artists and give them the opportunity to grow not just in skills but also financially.
