3D animator focused on delivering expressive character performance, strong silhouettes, and polished motion through disciplined blocking, spline work, and final refinement. I balance weight, timing, and acting choices to make animations feel believable and engaging. I’ve led rigging and end-to-end character production for a game launch, collaborating with tools like Blender and Unity to set up controls, blend trees, and state machines. I also bring a technical game-development background to ensure animation integrates smoothly into real-time pipelines.…3D animator focused on delivering expressive character performance, strong silhouettes, and polished motion through disciplined blocking, spline work, and final refinement.

Work Experience

Co-Founder & 3D Animator / Lead Technical Artist at GnomeFire Labs Inc.

May 1, 2023 - December 1, 2024

Led visual development on Race Trap. Co-founded an independent studio and helped drive the commercial launch of Race Trap on Steam over a ~1.5-year production cycle. Built, rigged, and animated the entire cast of 3D characters in Blender, emphasizing appealing silhouettes, expressive movement, and performance-driven acting. Set up and tuned Unity Animator controllers, blend trees, and state machines so animations transitioned correctly and the game could ship successfully on Steam.
