What I'm looking for

I seek roles creating optimized real-time assets for VR/AR/XR or mobile, on collaborative teams focused on performance, interactivity, and visual quality.

I am a mid-level 3D and real-time artist with over three years creating optimized assets for VR/AR/XR and mobile game projects. I focus on high-to-low poly workflows, trim sheets, PBR texturing, lighting, and real-time performance for Unity and Unreal Engine.

My experience includes producing and optimizing over 100 stylized 2D/3D assets and UI components for clients and employers, collaborating closely with designers, engineers, and product managers to meet visual and performance goals.

I have delivered immersive VR walkthroughs, AR filters, and interactive real-time visualizations for commercial and architectural projects, and have integrated assets using Blueprints and C# to enhance interactivity and user experience.

I hold an M.A. in New Media Design and a B.A. in Interior Architecture, and I bring creative problem solving, adaptability, and strong collaboration skills to teams building immersive and performant real-time experiences.
