Multidisciplinary creative professional transitioning into the videogame industry.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I am a multidisciplinary creative professional with a strong foundation in Unreal Engine and visual scripting, transitioning into the videogame industry. Recently, I completed a Master’s in Technical Art, gaining hands-on experience across the full game pipeline, including Blueprint systems, shader and VFX development, tool creation, and more. My unique blend of technical and creative strengths allows me to craft player-centric experiences that resonate.
Before shifting to games, I honed my skills in top-tier advertising agencies, creating branded content for global clients like P&G and Samsung. This experience sharpened my storytelling and visual design abilities, which I now apply to game development. I am passionate about utilizing my background to create engaging narratives and immersive environments in the gaming world.
