Keynote Speaker & Panelist

I've spent over fifteen years working on some of entertainment's most recognized franchises, including Disney, Magic: The Gathering, and Warhammer 40K. I speak on what that experience has taught me about building a career in concept art and illustration — the realities, the setbacks, and what actually works.

I’ve been fortunate to work with teams at places like Disney and Games Workshop, and I aim to offer practical insights and thoughts on topics like the creative process, career development in the creative industries, and the role of concept art in storytelling.

​

In talks, I keep things grounded and specific. Topics I often cover:

  • The creative process, from idea to final design

  • Building and sustaining a career in entertainment

  • Concept art's role in visual storytelling

  • Freelancing and navigating the industry

​

If you're looking for a speaker for your event, I'd love to hear from you.
