About
Hi! I’m a game animator with experience creating believable, expressive keyframe and motion-capture animations for both characters and creatures, including work across multiple updates for Pax Dei. I’m comfortable handling motion-capture cleanup, refining animation data, and producing realistic as well as stylized movement that feels grounded in good body mechanics.
I’ve implemented and tested animations in Unreal Engine, using Sequencer for blocking and previews, and I also support animation workflows by evaluating and testing creature/animal rigs to improve limb and control setups. I’ve worked with tools like Autodesk Maya, Blender, MotionBuilder, and Unreal Engine, and I also bring a solid understanding of rigging, creature animation, and motion-capture animation pipelines.
