What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build a career in hard-surface or technical art for games, creating 3D assets and procedural tools.

I've created, modelled, and animated commercial 3D assets at TV Chimp Ltd, with work featured by Toblerone, Oreo, and Milka. I also managed rendering pipelines and composited and colour-graded renders in Adobe After Effects.

I'm building toward hard-surface and technical art for games through procedural workflows, 3D modelling, and game projects in Houdini, Unreal Engine, Maya, ZBrush, and Substance Painter. My dissertation explored procedural building generation and destruction in videogames using Houdini.
