What I'm looking for

I'm looking for my first studio experience or an internship opportunity.

I create stylized and realistic 3D assets using PBR workflows, with a focus on real-time optimization. My personal and collaborative projects include character, environment, and prop modeling for games, CGI, and cinematic productions.

For the Academy project The UntoldSaga, I collaborated on an animated short film and video game demo, contributing character, environment, and prop modeling, plus level design. I also worked on modeling, texturing, and Unity integration.
