Time working as a qualified architect by training. I thus developed a good design and urban design ethic and skillset as well as practical technical knowledge. I am a planner, I can review and emulate building form subconsciously. My skills are easily translated to 3d environment design and a lot of my digital art borrows from my architectural studies on composition and aesthetic.
