Background
I'm a Senior Concept Art Outsource Supervisor overseeing cross-regional production for a AAA title, where art direction is my daily work. As an illustrator, I've created 20+ book covers for HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, and Macmillan, and worked with game clients including HoYoverse and HyperGryph, with awards including a Gold Award and multiple Silver Awards from Illustration West and 3x3, a Silver Award from the JIA Illustration Award, and selections from the Society of Illustrators Annual. I've also advised illustration thesis students from SVA, FIT, and Pratt, and given talks at UCLA and RISD.
I know what makes a portfolio work — because evaluating them is part of my job.
