What I'm looking for

I seek full-time 3D Artist work where I can lead character art, collaborate in a creative studio, grow skills, and deliver high-quality, production-ready assets.

I am a passionate 3D artist with extensive experience in character modelling, texturing, lighting, rendering, and composition, having worked across studios since 2011 and leading character teams since 2022. I deliver clean topology for animation, mentor artists, and manage workflows to meet quality standards and deadlines.

My background includes generalist studio roles creating props, environments, and VFX pipeline work using Maya, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Unreal Engine and After Effects, and I hold industry recognition with Rookies Award placements in 2020 and 2021.
