About

I’m a 3D rigging artist and environment modeller based in the UK, dedicated to prompt project completion and continually rising to challenges and new situations. I thrive in diverse, collaborative environments and enjoy meeting people with different perspectives. I love exploring, pushing my limits, and staying mentally stimulated by the work I do. I enjoy both stylisation and realism, and strive to infuse life into every project I touch.

I’m passionate about creating expressive rigs and believable environments, with a strong interest in storytelling through visuals. I value teamwork, feedback, and continuous learning, and I aim to contribute to projects that balance technical rigor with creative freedom.
