About
I’m a full-pipeline 3D Environment Artist building immersive, game-ready locations in Unreal Engine 5. After intensive training at Think Tank, I’ve created multiple real-time environments from concept to playable level, focusing on modular workflows, optimized scenes, PBR texturing, and lighting with Lumen.
I also bring a decade of marketing and creative production experience, including managing projects under tight deadlines, designing graphics for web and print, and producing multi-camera videos and live streams. That background helps me collaborate clearly, iterate fast, and deliver polished assets—whether I’m crafting hero props, authoring procedural materials, or implementing UE5 shaders, blueprints, and effects like wind and water.

Authored procedural tiling materials in Substance 3D Designer and implemented UE5 shaders, blueprints, and particle systems including wind and water effects. Lit interior and exterior scenes using Lumen, collaborating under professional guidance.
