I'm an art director with a long track record of building visual identities for character-driven, stylized games, from first sketches through live service. I’ve led art direction and visual development on projects like Jellyvale, James Cameron’s Avatar: Project Eden, and Genies & Gems, creating style guides, art bibles, and key art that keep teams aligned over years of production. My experience spans concept art, character and environment design, UI direction, vendor management, and working with licensors under strict brand guidelines, especially in mobile and indie pipelines. I stay hands-on with the work, I’m comfortable directing distributed teams, and I’m focused on turning loose ideas into clear, game-ready visuals that support both player experience and long-term production needs.

Tom worked closely with the design team to help get the visuals in our levels looking amazing. You can see, in his portfolio, the work he did for our Avatar game. He led his team of artists as well as had hands on work of his own that he and his team cranked out. So many high quality assets were made by him and his team that every time a new piece of art went into the game, the entire dev team was astonished, amazed, and delighted!
Tom couldn't be a more collaborative teammate. His eagerness to understand what the needs and direction were for our levels was infectious. He also was a great mentor and teacher to his art team. With some of the new-to-the-industry artists on the team, I could easily see their progression in the quality of their work week over week. That tells me that he's able to monitor, mentor, and teach artists exactly what it is the project needs from their work.
I highly recommend Tom for any game development team who is looking for an incredible artist, a wonderful teacher and mentor, and a highly collaborative team member. I would work with Tom again in a heartbeat!
