Junior 3D artist with experience in real-time environments, lighting, and procedural materials. I focus on production-ready assets and efficient pipelines. I work across hard-surface modeling, lookdev, and the full rendering/compositing process, using tools like Blender, Substance Painter/Designer, and Unreal Engine 5 to deliver consistent results under strict texel density and budget requirements.
