What do you do at IOI?

I am a character artist. Currently working on characters for Project 007.

Can you tell us more about yourself?

I am a fun-loving person! I love to explore new places and new cultures. I am also very keen on learning new things. I like making art whether 2D or 3D.

What's your daily source of inspiration?

My daily source of inspiration is art and listening to music, especially old rock, it amps up my energy.

Why are you passionate about what you do?

I like creating portraits both as sketches and in Zbrush. So I sketch from time to time and plan to work on detailed portraits in 3D.

Take risks, get out of your comfort zone, explore new places, meet new people. (Best thing ever)
