Summary

Always excited to connect with fellow creators
Find me on: instagram.com/vakon

At my core, I'm a problem-solver who happens to work in art.
Throughout my career – from founding an outsourcing art studio to leading teams as Art Director, Programme Leader, and Professor – I’ve discovered that every role boils down to the same fundamental need: solving problems that don't yet have solutions.
What I love most: taking on challenges where the path forward isn't clear. Whether it's establishing art pipelines, creating visual guidelines, building educational frameworks, or optimizing existing systems, I thrive on discovering what works and making it repeatable for others.

My expertise spans:
Studio leadership and team management
Concept art and visual development
Educational program design and teaching the next generation of artists
Art direction and pipeline optimization

Today, I focus on providing comprehensive art support for game development studios – from creating concept visuals to establishing sustainable art workflows to mentoring teams through the evolving digital art landscape.
