Character Designer & Illustrator I was born in Willemstad, Curaçao on December 17th 1985. For as long as I can remember I've been creating characters in my mind. At first I wanted to become a comic book artist, but after discovering that there was someone drawing the environments and characters from all the cool video games I was playing, I decided to pursue a career in concept art. In 2004 I moved to the Netherlands in order to study Industrial Design at The Hague University. After two years I realized it was not quite what I was looking for, so I switched to Game Design & Development at the Utrecht School of Art and Technology from which I graduated in 2011 with a BA degree and a specialization in concept art for video games. Since drawing people and inventing characters is one of my greatest passions in life, I chose to further specialize in designing and illustrating characters. In my journey as an artist, I've learned that there are three major keys for success in any endeavor: wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
