About

I am a highly skilled and versatile Animator and 3D Generalist with over 9 years of professional experience working with top-tier companies such as Team Grit, Galactic Annihilation, Amazon, and Gear2 Studio. I specialize in creating high-quality, game-ready assets, character animations, and 3D art for both small and large teams, either remotely or on-site. I am passionate about pushing creative boundaries and always dedicated to delivering polished animations and models within tight schedules. I have strong expertise in character animation, modeling, texturing, rigging, and integrating assets into game engines like Unreal Engine and Unity.

Throughout my career, I have led animation and 3D art projects for various game titles and AR applications, blending motion capture with hand-keyed animation to achieve smooth and engaging results. I enjoy collaborating across departments and continuously growing my skills in VR/AR development, rendering, lighting, and project management.
