I am an environment and technical artist based in Manchester, focused on creating atmospheric, believable worlds for games. I specialise in Unreal Engine 5 environments, modular kits, procedural workflows, asset creation, materials, lighting, and real-time optimisation. I enjoy combining strong visual composition with practical technical solutions that bring story-driven spaces to life.

I have experience working across indie studio, freelance, and personal game projects, collaborating closely with designers, artists, and technical teams. I am always keen to learn new tools and workflows, including Houdini, PCG, AI-assisted creative processes, and procedural environment building, while keeping human authorship and thoughtful artistic direction at the centre of my work.
