With over 20 years of experience as an illustrator and art director, I have worked extensively in the arts and entertainment industry, creating a wide range of engaging and fun products such as toys, games, animated projects, and children's books. However, my true passion lies in teaching and mentoring individuals of all ages. I particularly enjoy teaching illustration and creative writing, as I believe that with determination, one can achieve anything they set their mind to. My approach to teaching involves helping my students and clients not only develop their skills, but also grow as individuals and push their boundaries. I strive to make the learning process enjoyable, while also emphasizing the importance of accountability and completing the necessary work. I firmly believe that small steps can lead to significant accomplishments. In my own life, I live by the motto of continuously striving to improve myself each day, always aiming to be better than I was yesterday and looking forward to becoming even better tomorrow.
