I am writing to express my interest in opportunities as a 3D Generalist. With over 12 years of experience in motion design, visual effects, and 3D production—most recently as Lead 3D Generalist—I bring a combination of technical expertise, creative vision, and leadership that allows me to deliver visually compelling work across a wide range of projects.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to projects for major clients such as Coachella, HP, Virgin, RCA Records, and ITV, as well as leading design teams in the gaming and creative industries. My expertise spans across industry-standard software including 3Ds Max, Unreal Engine, After Effects, ZBrush, and Substance Painter, alongside advanced plugins such as Redshift, V-Ray, and Tyflow. This technical versatility is matched by my passion for cinematography and storytelling, ensuring every project I work on is grounded in both innovation and narrative clarity.

As a self-taught artist, I have developed a curiosity-driven approach that allows me to quickly adapt to new tools and workflows. Whether creating photorealistic environments, stylized animations, or experimental VFX, I thrive on blending technical precision with artistic exploration. My leadership experience has also enabled me to mentor teams, streamline pipelines, and maintain high creative standards under tight deadlines.

I would welcome the opportunity to bring my skills, adaptability, and creative drive to new challenges.

Sincerely,
