I am a passionate 3D artist with 10+ years of experience creating environments, characters and assets for games and animation production. I specialize in 3D modeling, texturing, lighting, and UV layouts, with a keen eye for light, value, composition, color, staging and detail. I’ve built modular, optimized assets and I’m excited to bring my unique aesthetic to new projects. I thrive in collaborative environments and continuously expand my toolkit with Maya, Blender, ZBrush, Substance Painter, and Photoshop to deliver polished, production-ready results.
