Concept Artist, Illustrator, Indie Developer
Everywhere, United States

Summary

I'm the founder of Zirnworks, LLC, a design and game development studio currently creating "Chroma Circuit" - a new twist on the racing genre, as well as a webapp for help artists better scope the AI possibility space. (www.zirnprompt.com)

While not building on the Synthara IP, I have contributed to a variety of industries as a concept artist and 2D/3D illustrator, starting in game illustration, and branching into interaction design, advertising, and licensing, with clients including Wizards of the Coast and Google ATAP. I have also exhibited large scale work at Burning Man and multiple art museums in the United States.

I find beauty in complexity, and tread where technology/design meet natural forms and systems and build worlds around that crossroads. I take a scale-free approach to design, drawing inspiration from microbiology to metropolis.

Since childhood, I have been drawn to symmetry, recursion, and intricate, vibrant patterns. Nature has always been a huge inspiration. I feel so fortunate to be working in an age where digital tools support my ideas and form language so well, so I am always experimenting with new ways to create. I'm passionate about synthography (AI art) and finding new ways to enhance the creative process.
