What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can contribute to innovative game storytelling and grow my skills.

As a Senior Cinematic Camera Artist, I have successfully transitioned from film to the gaming industry, where I focus on creating cinematic experiences that enhance storytelling in AAA games. My journey has been marked by a commitment to collaboration, working closely with game designers and directors to bring their visions to life through innovative camera sequences.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to notable projects such as 'Until Dawn Remake' and 'The Quarry,' where I took full responsibility for camera creation and level functionality. My passion for delivering captivating visuals drives me to push the boundaries of what is possible in game cinematics, ensuring that every scene resonates with players and enhances their gaming experience.
