about me.

hi there!

i’m cayde (he/they), and i’ve been making art as far back as i can remember. i was inspired by my sister, who was and still is an avid artist, and we often spoke to one another through our drawings– it was the best way to communicate our emotions, stories, and characters in the imaginary worlds we designed together.

we shared strong inspiration from the movies we watched (atlantis: the lost empire being one of my favourites!) and the games we played together (final fantasy VII, kingdom hearts, klonoa: lunatea’s veil, legend of zelda: ocarina of time & majora’s mask, ragnarok online, and so many more).

still to this day, i specialize in story and character-driven visual design. my portfolio includes work with various gaming franchises including the elder scrolls online, world of warcraft, and need for speed. in all of my work, i focus on showcasing the human experience, both in and out of game, by highlighting inclusivity, diversity, the silly, and the strange.

when i’m not creating for work, i enjoy crocheting, long walks in the park, fishing, and playing video games! in the real world, i have a beautiful wife, gwenn, and the sweetest fur baby in the whole world, cassidy (named after rose of sharon cassidy from fallout: new vegas, in case you’re curious).

if my work sparks curiosity in you, please reach out!

it’s nice to meet you!
