Available to hire
I am a senior 3D Animator and Rigger with two decades of professional experience across AAA and mobile games, as well as TV series and feature films. I’ve worked in mid, senior, and lead capacities, contributing from concept through to shipped titles.
I combine strong technical rigging and animation/VFX pipeline knowledge with hands-on production expertise in Maya, MotionBuilder, 3ds Max, and Blender. I also have extensive experience with Unreal Engine and Unity, and I’m known for being patient, flexible, and team-oriented—always open to feedback and focused on delivering high-quality character performance.
