ABOUT
Hi! I'm Juu, a concept designer and illustrator for characters and environments. For most of my childhood I grew up with picture books, games like Pokemon and Final Fantasy. Fast forward, I was originally from the Architecture field but ran on a rough overseas adventure during the pandemic and made the switch to the games industry. I returned home after a while for my senior dog, Hunter.
I work in many styles and approaches in order to cater to various markets and have collaborative experience in small to larger teams, working mostly on game products, large illustrations, independent publications and tabletop card games!
(Aside from the standard work and regular hours, I am in the midst of working on multiple projects so some pages are still 'under construction', particularly in the Games sections.)
Thank you warmly for visiting this small space that holds my art journey.
