I’m a 3D Artist and Animator who enjoys building characters, creatures, and visual worlds from scratch. I handle the full pipeline when needed — modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, lighting, lookdev, and final rendering — or I can jump into one part of your production. My strengths: • Character & creature modeling (Blender / ZBrush / C4D) • Character animation & cinematic sequences • Cloth simulation and digital garments in Marvelous Designer • Lighting + lookdev, Redshift rendering, stylized or realistic • Worldbuilding, storyboarding, and light art direction • Asset prep for games, 3D printing, VR/AR, or promotional visuals I’ve worked across commercial projects, music videos, and animation pipelines, and I’m comfortable collaborating with designers, directors, and producers. My clients appreciate that I communicate clearly, deliver clean files, and keep things moving without drama. If you have a character or scene that needs to be brought to life, a product that needs a polished render, or a visual idea you want to explore, I’d be happy to help.
