About
I hold a 2:1 BA in Film Studies from Oxford Brookes University, and I bring storytelling into every project across games, film, and traditional media. My personal work includes a 2000s-inspired Dress-Up Game concept drawing on anime-style character design and a vibrant visual direction inspired by Marvel Rivals’ Magik, alongside Fools of Acquisition’s sci-fi worldbuilding influenced by Star Trek.
I’m currently developing 3D props and environments in Blender for real-time rendering, focusing on environmental storytelling, lighting, and atmospheric composition, with hand-painted and PBR texturing in Substance Painter. I also maintain a traditional oil and mixed-media portraiture practice inspired by nature and film, and I enjoy bringing stories to life through 2D design and visual development.
