I did this interview with Learn Squared after releasing my second course on their platform, Advanced Matte Painting.

In this conversation, we talked about my creative philosophy, my approach to worldbuilding, and the lessons I had learned from working across the entertainment industry as a matte painter, art director, educator, and founder of KitBash3D.

At its core, this interview is about the craft of creating worlds and the mindset behind a sustainable creative career. It reflects my belief that technique matters, but that the deeper work is learning how to think, how to solve problems, how to stay curious, and how to keep growing as an artist.
