I began my career as an illustrator like many do— crayoning on walls. Back then it was considered a bad habit, now I get paid for it. In fact, I've somehow managed to doodle my way into a great career.

I’ve always been a fan of silent storytelling. My intent is always to make a comic story that also works as a piece of art. I love trying to combine the flow of a story with the aesthetics of color, balance, shape and form. Some end up more art than story and others more story than art but that’s what makes each piece a unique experience.
