I'm a passionate CG Artist and 3D Production professional with experience in VFX, photorealistic rendering, layout, camera tracking, and game development. I enjoy creating realistic digital environments, assets, and visuals while working in fast-paced creative production environments. I've worked on feature films, streaming projects, indie productions, and personal game development projects. Along with my technical skills, I bring strong teamwork, problem-solving, and adaptability to every project. I also come from a family where woodworking and carpentry were the main source of income. Growing up around craftsmanship taught me attention to detail, structure, materials, and how to build things with precision — skills that naturally influenced my passion for 3D modeling and realistic digital creation.
