Summary
I have proficiency in Unreal Engine, Maya, ZBrush, Substance, and Perforce. My portfolio showcases a wide range of expertise, including asset creation (3D modeling and sculpting both hard-surface and organic), PBR texturing / UV mapping, optimization, asset integration into engine, and world building.
I've helped set up artists for success in providing clear direction, constructive feedback, and pipeline improvements. Through effective planning, organization, and communication, I've consistently delivered high-quality assets according to specifications and hitting milestones.
I'm passionate about staying up to date with industry trends and emerging technologies. I have experience collaborating with designers, engineers, animators, lighters, VFX, riggers, and technical artists.
