Here is our short interview with him about his works, how he get inspired and his daily routines.

How did you start your career?

I first had my start in Architecture for a few years before transitioning into illustration and graphic design. I spent some time doing freelance in the early stages before finally landing at Vault49. I still work there today and freelance on projects as a side hustle.

How many softwares do you use simultaneously on a project?

That depends. Currently I use Adobe Fresco, Photoshop and Illustrator.

Where do you find your inspiration? Which channels inspire you?

Primarily my inspiration comes from Pop culture, Anime, music, fashion. It’s a mixed bag really.

Do you have a favourite kind of project to work on?

I always work on projects that allow some creative freedom within specific parameters rather being prescribed on what the exact result should be. Collaborative clients always seem to generate the best form of work.

How do you balance client and personal work?

It’s an everyday struggle but whenever I have a breather from client work I’ll try to sneak in a personal piece here and there as a mental exercise and to experiment.
