About
I’m a real-time 3D Environment & Lighting Artist focused on building atmospheric, game-ready worlds in Unreal Engine 5. I love designing modular environments using greyboxing and PBR trim sheet pipelines, then dialing in lighting with a strong eye for mood, composition, and environmental storytelling.
From VR and movie previsualization to architectural visualization and full lighting setups, I’ve consistently profiled performance (including Lumen, Virtual Shadow Maps, and Megalights) to meet production budgets and platform targets. I’m currently based in the UK on a Graduate Visa and enjoy collaborating across teams to deliver polished, interactive environments.
