About

I’m a 2D/3D animator and game artist generalist with 10+ years of experience creating characters, cinematics, and full-cycle assets for games and cartoons. I enjoy building production pipelines end-to-end—from concept and sculpting to modeling, rigging, animation, texturing, and optimization.

I’ve worked across Unity and Unreal-based workflows, supported studio and publisher projects, and collaborated with major brands while also delivering freelance work for indie studios. I’m comfortable combining creative production with technical implementation (tools, UI support, and Unity content creation) to keep quality high and schedules on track.
