With an absolute passion for 3D art, I have spent the last 5 years building skills through a mix of challenging professional work in the virtual reality and production spaces, contracted roles for various gaming and product design studios, and innovative personal projects ranging from character design to full animations. Having developed a complete and thorough knowledge of 3D programs such as Maya, ZBrush, Unreal Engine, and Substance Painter, as well as an advanced understanding of character anatomy and physics, shot design and layout, and photorealistic workflows, I am fully prepared to meet the needs of any traditional or custom 3D pipeline.
