A Professional Chapter in the
Making of "The Last Memory of Earth"
In February, I begin a 12 week concept design mentorship focused on professional workflows, visual storytelling, and world building. This page invites those who wish to support and witness this chapter as it unfolds.
Contributions support my professional development and studio time during this mentorship chapter.
What This Mentorship Is about
Beginning February 19, I will be participating in a 12 week concept design mentorship through Concept Art Academy, led by industry pro Hardy Fowler. The program is designed to strengthen design thinking, professional workflows, and visual storytelling for games and film.
Professional Workflows
Training focused on structured design processes, speed, and clarity that mirror real production environments.
Visual Storytelling
Strengthening composition, value, and design decisions so images read clearly and powerfully.
Guided Mentorship
Direct feedback and direction from an experienced industry professional throughout the program.
Environment and World Design
Developing environments and visual narratives that communicate story, scale, and mood with intention.
Portfolio Level Thinking
Approaching each assignment with professional standards in mind, building work that reflects readiness for industry expectations.
TLMOE as a Framework
Using The Last Memory of Earth as my narrative and visual foundation, allowing the world to evolve through professional constraint.
This mentorship is one focused chapter within a longer arc of work, research,
and world building that continues beyond these 12 weeks.

Why This Mentorship Is the Right Next Step
Before moving forward, I wanted to be certain this mentorship was truly the right fit. Not just in terms of skill level, but in terms of direction, intention, and long term growth.
As part of that process, I had a portfolio review conversation to honestly assess whether this program could meaningfully support where I am headed. This short clip captures the conclusion of that discussion.
It reflects a clear alignment between my goals and the kind of guidance this mentorship is designed to offer. That clarity is what gave me confidence in taking this next step.
