Furthering my experience working on creative and socially-implicated projects; improve my communication skills and understanding of team work-flow and team responsibility are my goals, but most of all I wish to bond and connect my work with all the subjects I find significant to our present time including culture and gender clashes, anatomy, nature, writing, design, anthropology, society and History. I seek to use my imagination and varied interests to create concepts that will challenge social and cultural conventions.

Ter Aelis, June 2008 – September 2012
I created fourteen digital art tutorials, a Photoshop CS3 guide to help visual art amateurs, three digital drawing courses advising beginners who wish to explore digital painting and vector drawing for the French-speaking online community Ter Aelis.
I continue to provide advise and help to the Ter Aelis members and hope to encourage and inspire young explorers of the digital arts.
I created forum and icon graphics as well as illustrations in the form of photo-manipulation and matte-painting for the design of the 1.5 version of their website.
