Bio
Yolanda C.
I had the pleasure of working with Brian at Stargate Studios. Brian is not only a knowledgeable and extremely skilled artist, he is also a great team player and fantastic at trouble shooting and problem solving. He is great at training other artists and collaborating with other departments. I really look forward to work with him again in the future.

Brian is a great collaborator and team player. He and I had to work on several projects together and he was always willing to put in his time and effort to help the project succeed. He is open to other people’s ideas as well as honest about whether he thinks it will fit with the project’s overall goal. As a coworker, I put my full trust in Brian whenever I needed him to complete a task, I knew he would get it done right and complete it quickly. He has always been very approachable and easygoing which made it easy for me to ask him for anything. His advice and knowledge has always helped me whenever I needed to talk through a problem and he helped me work towards a solution. I would love it if I could work with Brian again someday.
