I believe that all people are born artists. Some just stop drawing for some reason. I'm one of the ones that kept going.

I grew up designing video game characters, levels, and UI's. I even moved on to teach myself Photoshop and HTML while in high school so I could show my work to people on this cool new thing called the internet. Afterward, I enrolled in the Graphic Design school at the University of Georgia with a focus on Illustration. There, I learned from Mark Braught, the concept artist for the first Harry Potter movie.

After school, I took a job at Cadillac Jack, where I learned how to think out of the box with managing graphics and hardware. I was instrumental in implementing several methods of our process and moved to Austin, TX to become the Lead Artist and help set up a separate branch from our home base in Atlanta.

In 2014, I started my own business, EMLstudio, LLC, where I started training and hiring contractors to work with me to take on new clients. My projects have ranged from casino gaming, indie video games, oil painting, teaching, and even a bit of tech art.
