I’m not afraid to take on new challenges, and I bring a strong work ethic and professionalism to every task. As a 2D/3D artist, I enjoy concepting, building, and polishing game-ready assets and environments—from early look-dev through final lighting, texturing, and in-engine setup. My experience spans mobile, PC VR, and iOS/console titles, and I’ve worked closely with designers and teams to produce levels, gameplay prefabs, and environment art. I also have teaching experience, where I supported students with Maya workflows, lighting/texturing, and game development fundamentals.…I’m not afraid to take on new challenges, and I bring a strong work ethic and professionalism to every task.
