PERSONAL
STATEMENT
As an industry
veteran, my commitment is to innovation and
artistry in both game design and graphical
presentation techniques; I have no interest in
merely maintaining the status quo of computer
gaming or simple-mindedly chasing after the
latest trends. Instead, my purpose is to express
a unique, personal vision and to produce graphics
with memorable impact. The worlds I create may be
highly realistic or highly interpretive; the
theme, tone and interactive nature of each
product dictate my approach. To this end, I
typically employ both old and new technologies,
animation, video, 3D as well as 2D rendering
techniques... whatever it takes to make a strong
visual statement.
