Available to hire
I am a 3D Character Animator and Technical Artist specializing in expressive character and creature animation, rigging, and game-ready workflows. I have experience creating believable performances through body language, timing, and anatomy-driven movement, including quadruped animation and creature rigging for my award-winning thesis film Intrepid. I am skilled in Maya, Unreal Engine, and developing Python-based tools. I enjoy combining creative animation with technical problem-solving to bring characters to life in immersive environments.
