About

Open to opportunities in both Environment Art & VFX
------
3D game artist with 5 years of studio experience. Studied at Ringling College of Art & Design, graduated 2013. I've worked around games for the last 15 years, starting off with creating maps in Counterstrike, Starcraft and Warcraft 3. For a short time, I created some popular mods for Cities Skylines. I'm well versed in PBR pipeline, current gen tools and techniques.

Primarily trained as an environment artist, but also do hobbyist VFX and game design. Learning new tools excites me, which seems proper for an industry that tends to evolve its pipeline every 2-4 years :)
