About
I shifted from woodworking to digital art, earning a bachelor’s degree in Game Art and 3D Animation. I am passionate about 3D modeling, rigging, and programming, and I bring a unique blend of craftsmanship and creativity to digital art and animation.
Rooted in carpentry, I bring a hands-on mentality and strong spatial awareness to each project, approaching digital creation with a practical, solution-oriented mindset.
