What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to combine my artistic skills with teaching, fostering creativity in a collaborative environment.

With over 7 years of experience as a 3D artist and 5 years as an educator, I specialize in advanced 3D modeling, texturing, lighting, and rendering techniques using Maya. My journey has been defined by a commitment to delivering high-quality visuals while mentoring the next generation of artists. I have successfully led teams in creating immersive game environments and have a strong background in curriculum development, ensuring that students are equipped with the latest industry trends.

Throughout my career, I have designed and developed characters, executed animations, and integrated visual effects to enhance storytelling. My role as a tutor at Yoobee Colleges has allowed me to share my knowledge in 2D and 3D animation, guiding students in portfolio development and problem-solving. I thrive in collaborative environments, where I can address creative and technical challenges alongside talented teams.
