What I'm looking for

I’m seeking collaborative roles where I can create narrative-driven 3D art and worldbuilding—projects with strong storytelling, supportive teams, and clear production workflows.

I’m a detail-oriented 3D artist and writer with a foundation in Game Design and Development, committed to creating immersive characters and environments through thoughtful design and atmosphere.

My background includes hands-on experience in 3D modelling, texturing, scene composition, and familiarity with game art pipelines and workflows, which I apply to produce strong visual storytelling and mood.

I also write and develop narrative content, with a particular passion for fantasy and historical worldbuilding, script development, and creative editing that deepen player engagement.

I work well in collaborative teams, bring an organized approach to asset management and project tracking, and prioritize clear communication and constructive feedback to support production and delivery.
