Zach is a Mexican American artist from California currently living and working in the Orlando area with his pup Charlotte. When he was a kid, Zach wanted to grow up to become a professional baseball player, but when he realized he wasn't the next Ken Griffey Junior; he picked up other hobbies. His parents bought him a sketchbook during his senior year of high school, and he began drawing, painting and discovering his passion for creating stories and connecting with people though art.
Currently, he's living the dream working as a Designer for the Global Product Creation division of Walt Disney Imagineering. Professionally, Zach has worked in the toy and entertainment industry for 10+ years; mainly on animation and toys. He attended the Academy of Art University and received his B.F.A. in Visual Development for Animation, with a focus on character design and concept art for games and animation.
