What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build optimized, visually rich game environments and levels, contributing modular assets, visual storytelling, and hands-on Unreal Engine production experience.

I've worked on SOEDESCO's “Truck Driver: American Dream” and “Truck Driver: The Dutch Connection,” building game environments and designing levels for PC and consoles.

I create modular, optimized handmade and procedural levels with visual storytelling, modeling kits, hero props, and set dressing for games. My work spans Unreal Engine, 3ds Max, Blender, Substance 3D Painter, and game-ready asset optimization.

Previously at DIGITALL, I created 3D car models, animations, and UI assets for interactive infotainment, supporting art-to-engine handoff. I've also modeled, designed, and rendered boutique interiors at PRIVATES.

My portfolio on ArtStation and Sketchfab shows work across different artistic styles, with a focus on the “Village” project. I stay active in the game development community through 29 game jams, events, workshops, and courses.
